Dear Queenie,
When I was studying for a test I found a book online about the subject of the test. When I started to read the book I realised that it was word-for-word the same as the essay someone else in my class turned in on the subject and got an A for.
Obviously that person copied the book while the rest of us didn’t do so well.
Queenie, should I tell the teacher?—High school student
Dear Student,
By all means bring this to the teacher’s attention. But rather than just telling him (or her) about it, give your teacher a copy of the online book, or at least the relevant passages, along with the information needed to find the entire book online. After that it is up to the teacher to take appropriate measures.
