It’s bad enough kids are paying others to do their homework for them:
12 Page Paper Due Tuesday (Anywhere)
Reply to:
Date: 2008-11-09, 6:10PM EST12 pages, double spaced, with an outline. Due Tuesday by 10 AM EST.
- Location: Anywhere

Compensation: 200
Someone didn’t do his homework. He was too busy partying or hanging out or playing PS2 until 3:00 a.m. to write his 12 page paper. When does he realize it’s not going to get done? Sunday evening at 6:10 p.m. and when is it due? Tuesday morning. And he’s offering $16 a page for his rush job.
I ask you, do we expect anyone unethical enough to churn out dude’s homework for him by Tuesday morning to turn in an A or even a B paper? Me neither. And he deserves every bit of his F.
Forgive me, but if I ever caught my child doing this, I would slap the cr*p outta him.
You and me both Kathleen. Thanks to the Internet more students are cheating. And term paper mills have the nerve to say they’re providing “samples” when we all know they’re not. I always say I hope I don’t have to deal with a doctor or lawyer or electrician who felt they had to cheat to get ahead.
Not to mention he forgot the rather important part where there’s no specific topic listed. Someone could write him a 12 page letter to his teacher about the importance of reading internet-bought papers before submitting them
This ad makes my day a little brighter.
@ Kathleen and Deborah: God help my children if I EVER catch them doing something like this.
Stupid.
