12/11/03: Stupid. Fucking. Kids.

Posted By: Becky_Sharp

Well, my plagiarism count now stands at 2! And this one was in the other class, the one I told about the plagarizer I caught before! And she was actually getting a fairly good grade. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I realize I'm blasting deep into Liquid_Sunshine territory here, but goddammit when I was a student I had a few ethics! I never stole or bought a paper. I had just enough brains to realize that the letter on the grade sheet that came in the mail at the end of the semester wasn't the fucking point. I wasn't in school for grades, I was there for KNOWLEDGE! What good are straight A's if you end up knowing nothing?! Thank god the grades have to be in today and I can wash my hands of the whole thieving bunch. Grr...
