electronic plagarism - one solution

[Niantic@AOL.COM]

<I am puzzled by the many messages I have seen on lm_net recently with
<regard to students printing too much from CD ROM databases and concerns
<about plagiarizing from electronic resources.

I eliminated the problem of students printing too much from CD ROM
encyclopedias by removing the printer.

The students learned very quickly NOT to write in complete sentences.

So now when I cooperatively plan units with the teachers I ask each teacher
if they want the printer reconnected.  Everyone since September has said no.
