Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane would be proud...

Well, sometimes I deal with complete dipsticks. My students enter their essays onto a plagiarism site that scans for naughty no-nos. You think a relatively intelligent person would think, "Hmmm...I better not cut and paste the thoughts and ideas of others and then place those thoughts and ideas in my essay. I might get caught."

No. I get Enos.

That's a zero out of 100 points. That is having his coach and his parents in his face. That's me saying, "I'm not angry; I'm disappointed. You are capable of much better. Now, I can't trust you."

It does make me laugh, though. What was this student thinking? Duh!
