Cheaters, Cheaters, Pumpkin Eaters!
There is some egregious and rampant cheating going on in these here parts. I think we're hitting a tipping point, y'all.
(P.S. Proper posts to come soon! I have much to tell you about the Boy [learning updates] and the hubby [job update!]). But for now, I'm just grading finals, mothering, and trying to get an article draft completed. It's been a busy semester, has it not? And flying by . . . )

Get 'em, GEW!
Can't wait to hear about all the good stuff!
Waiting breathlessly!
We'll be here. Do your other important life stuff! (And fail those cheaters.)
With ALL the writing that's out there, how can you even figure out if there's plagiarism? Is there s a secret, special teacher code you know?
TSB, That is a good question! In fact, I think it's worthy of a full post as a response, but in the meantime, let me offer an analogy: Let's say you're teaching a sewing class, and I (not as your Cousin but as a stranger) am taking the class. Let's say your teaching a class on how to sew veils. I've sewn a little in my time, but I'm pretty average. Maybe even kind of bad. Or maybe I'm even decent! Either way, I've been turning in my own work for about 10 weeks, and you've been looking at my work and grading me on it. And then, for a big project, towards the end of the semester, I turn something in that isn't mine. Either I've had someone else do a lot of the stitching or I've flat out taken someone else work and turned it in as my own.
With all of the sewn items out there in the world, how would you know that it's not mine? (Cause I'm guessing you WOULD know.)
That "your" should be "you're," of course!
