My oldest child spends a lot of supervised time on the net. She fully understands that tracking software is installed and subject to my oversight. She also understands that when using Internet sources as references the proper way to give credit and reference the source.
Well it seems some kids and some parents just don’t get it. According to a article on NewsDay.com a youngster was late turning in a report found a ready made essay on the net printed it went to school and turned it in only for the teacher to be amazed the kid can write fluent French.
Many schools are subscribing to a service that allows them to send kids homework assignments in and they are scanned cross indexed and using the same Internet the paper is verified. So caution your kids due the time research and write original reports and give credit were credit is due.
