<p>I have one for you all: I just heard that a student who had gotten an ED admission to a top national university with a full ride scholarship was found to have plagiarized portions of a major project. The teacher, who had written a rec for the student, wrote to the university and retracted the rec. The student lost the acceptance and the scholarship. Some people's reaction to this is, unbelievably IMHO, that the teacher was "mean." My son's reaction, I'm happy to say, is that it was a major breach of trust and the teacher's action was the correct one. What do you think?</p>
