However, consider these additional facts about the young lady in this case:
1. Her disability is a vague "immune deficiency syndrome" which still allowed her
to work out at a Curves fitness center weekly. If she can function in that kind
of public facility, and plans to "go to" college, why was she *unable* to attend
regular HS classes?
2. Her father is a lawyer/judge. She's not coming from an uneducated or
unsophisticated family. In one interview she said that she read the NY Times every
day. She just skipped those articles on plagiarism?
3. Her brother just graduated from Harvard. He never mentioned the code of honor
there?
No -- I think there's a more fundamental issue here than school-based info-skills
instruction.
