@tracy_mcdiarmid@DrKChilds How about he neglected to properly cite his sources…aka he improperly took credit “stole” the information. If you still disagree then carefully read your institution’s academic dishonesty policy.
@DrBradJohnson Education in America revolves around kids fulfilling the adults’ to-do list, and making good to correct the mistakes of prior generations. That means the children today must carry the weight of the adults’ broken dreams while forging a new, sustainable path forward.
