Thanks Laurie

I read the article about "copy and paste."  I honestly don't know
where Ha Aretz gets its information or how the writers develop their
opinions.

I am still fuming about the HaAretz article in which the writer
PRAISED the idea of giving kids extra help by conducting smaller
classes in school hallways. I teach in a fabulous school with no extra
rooms at all - sometimes there aren't even enough regular classrooms-
. Still I wouldn't be able to teach in corridors...even without kids
and staff walking there, distracting weak and ADD students, the noise
from the schoolyard where sports classes are held creates its own
disturbances...but I digress.

I feel that this particular teacher, example given in the article,  is
either a "rarity"  or was misunderstood while giving instructions. I
know that most of my colleagues have a class discussion on plagiarism
before giving project assignments and that students whose work is
"copied and pasted" must redo it or receive "zero."
