As a tutor it stuns me when right in front of me they cut and paste someone else's writing into their papers. With one boy I did get him to credit it all to the original author - he still got full credit for the paper having written none of it himself.

Wow! At my school, if you are caught cheating ONCE, you get kicked out of your major and possibly kicked out of the university if the teacher decides to pursue it further. I wouldn't chance that. Besides, how would you ever learn if you just turned in someone else's work??

These were high school kids - it's amazing. The teachers have mostly given up, I think. If a student takes the time to turn in almost anything, they pass. The system doesn't support the teachers if they start failing kids either.
Sad. |

Exactly! Once I started to feel that way, I got ready to retire. It's called "teacher burnout."

Yes - but the ones I get asked to tutor are often having problems because of the way they are being raised. It is very hard to deal with when the parents can't hear what you are saying that might help at home. And I have physical limits that make it exhausting sometimes.
