Upon finding a clearly plagiarized paper, I called the student into my office. Pointing to my computer screen, I said, “I found your entire paper online. Do you have anything you want to say about that?”

Her angry response: “Well, I paid my sister to write it, but I didn’t think she’d plagiarize!”

While waiting in the emergency room waiting area (the wait was LONG) another lady said, “I don’t know why this takes so long. It’s not like we’re here for our health!”

I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

The homework assignment for my Spanish class was to write a paragraph. When I returned their papers, I asked one student if he had used Google Translate or any other online translator to write his paper. He categorically denied doing so. That led to my next question: “Then why is this in French?”


I actually had this happen. Students were to write definitions for vocabulary words/phrases. Of course many use the glossary. The kid used the Spanish vocabulary and wrote a whole page in Spanish—he didn’t notice. I then realized that having kids define words was pointless to their learning them—at least for some of them.
