Re: [LM_NET] Research and plagiarism policies

I feel compelled to add my two cents worth - Lisa is right.  I know what the 
grade schools that feed into my high school teach.  I helped write the 
Curriculum Guides - I also taught skills when I had the grade school.   Yet 
still, I have students who come in wand act as if they have never even been 
in a library before..or  want me to do all their work for them - Famous 
line: "But isn't it your job to find that stuff for me so I can then use it 
for my paper?"

Until students realize how important a skill it is, they will continue to 
need to be re-taught.  But then, the same could be said for almost every 
other subject. I have had Math and English and Social Studies and Science 
departments lamenting that they must re-teach-teach the basics .  I suppose 
it is a maturity factor.  Students just don't see how things fit into the 
whole big picture of education.
