10/10 would read again. And I don't think my thread was a rant but more as a question. I was unable to seek advice on what should I do. So many people cheated on their essay's it provided that extra sense of confusion.
At least I think you are talking about that thread I created back in April on 'plagiarism'.
10/10 indeed.
I forget what I said in your thread, but does your school/teaching facility treat the plagiarism like mine? My college, if the student is deemed of the crime, is promptly expelling the student. They can not come back to that university, and there is a blackmark on their record for a substantial amount of time.
If the students continue to cheat, pull them aside and tell them, individually, what they are doing is worthy of expulsion (or whatever it is your workplace does), and that while it is unfair to let them work on a new essay, and that you cannot allow them to rewrite it, the grade is a solid A for the original writer, but a solid F for the thief.
My teacher hadn't pulled a student aside this semester; he blatantly told the student off, in front of 30 other classmates, that the student stole the work. It was right before Thanksgiving break, too.
I was tempted to follow the guidelines set in-place for these type of situations but, given my history and how it could be detrimental to the youth's further development; I found it to be contradictory of what the premise of the lesson was. Feeble to say the least that I would consider the detrimental implications that it could have on the youth but, it did allow me to further my knowledge and understanding of restorative practices versus strict punishment. The premise of me becoming a professor was to enlighten people, not bare-waste to the future of that individual. Nonetheless I made the situation more difficult than it should have been.

@Uuuuuooo, I see, I see. It's always the right thing to do to go with your gut, and to not ruin someone's future. I sort of think what you did was correct; you learnt how to deal with the situation in future settings, if it were to ever arise. You also didn't screw over someone.

It's still a pity, though, that people cheat to get ahead in life.
I don't know if your workplace uses it, but Temple uses "Turn it in," which is an automated essay-thing... You submit your essay into it, and it provides a report within 10-20 minutes. The report pulls known sources, and gives you a "Matching %" of the submitted essay. If it's 0%-15%, that's good; it does not match any known material, minus a few quotes or websites here and there. If it's 16%-25%, there might be an issue. Anything higher than 25%, and if it does not appear to be buggy, then that might warrant a talk with the student.
