Why do primary and secondary school teachers let students go online to find compositions to print?

children copy the composition without changing a word

Ms. Lou's son is in the fourth grade of primary school in Yiwu city. Yesterday, when she went to school to pick up her son from school, his head teacher told her that her son had copied an essay entitled "My Alma Mater and I" on the Internet. What makes people laugh and cry is that my son did not even change the name of the school in his composition, and copied it all without changing a word. The teacher said that copying a composition should also talk about art, and you can't copy jokes.

Ms. Lou looked embarrassed. That night, Ms. Lou asked her son about copying the composition. His son bowed his head and admitted it, but he muttered something: "What is this? Several students in our class are copying the composition online."

after listening to the child's words, Ms. Lou is even more worried. Usually, my son always says that the teacher has arranged homework to collect materials online, and he doesn't want children to use this as an excuse to secretly copy compositions online. Moreover, judging from the children's words, it is not an individual phenomenon for primary school students to copy their compositions from the Internet.

reporter's survey

teachers encourage reference to excellent model essays

At about 3: 3 pm the day before yesterday, the reporter made a small survey to students who had just left school at the gate of a primary school in Yiwu city. "Last week, a classmate in our class copied the composition and was found by the teacher." A fifth-grade boy told reporters, "At first, he didn't admit that he copied it. Later, the teacher found an identical model essay on the Internet, and the male student bowed his head and admitted it."

"This man is really stupid. Of course, the teacher will find out if he copied the whole article. My sister and I also copied the composition several times, but none of them were discovered by the teacher. " A tall boy on the side smiled and said that he taught his peers the experience. "You should write the opening and closing paragraphs yourself, and copy a few paragraphs in the middle, so it is not easy for the teacher to find them."

Although almost all the primary school students surveyed claimed that they had never copied their compositions online, they all told reporters that some students in the class were "caught" by their teachers for copying their compositions.

Is it common for primary school students to copy their compositions online? The reporter visited several primary school Chinese teachers in the suburbs of Yiwu. Teacher Ni, a Chinese teacher in a primary school in the suburbs of Yiwu, said that there were no students who plagiarized their compositions online in her class. Teacher Ni said that it may be because the computers in suburban students' homes are generally not fully equipped, so the probability of students copying compositions online is low. In addition, Teacher Ni introduced that primary school compositions are generally required to be completed in the classroom, and students rarely have the opportunity to plagiarize online. Even if the composition is completed after class, students are generally required to write according to the actual situation. For example, after the autumn outing, students will be required to write a composition according to the autumn outing. "According to the composition written according to the actual situation, children can't search for the corresponding model essay online."

Teacher Yu of a primary school in an urban area of Yiwu also said that most primary school students' compositions are required to be completed in class, and students have fewer opportunities to plagiarize. However, it has also been found that some students plagiarize compositions that can be completed after class on the internet, and the most serious plagiarism is the essay contest.

how to deal with students' plagiarism? Teacher Yu responded with two tricks: first discovering students' full-text plagiarism, let students learn other people's writing styles as model essays, then guide students to write their feelings in their own language, and at the same time let students understand that copying is an immoral behavior. If students are found plagiarizing their compositions for the second time, they will be asked to conduct individual conversation education and ask them to rewrite their compositions.
