...do the children just...not know about Google Docs having an edit history?
Not only did this kid turn in the document with my formatting to indicate where their source screwed up on the instructions and the incorrect answers intact, but it's just a blatant "entire worksheet was c/p'd onto their document and the original text deleted."

im not that well versed in google docs. When I did erotica editing, my boss hated the program and insisted I work in word. Maybe this is why.

I'm not sure I understand the problem here: At work we'll frequently take someone else's doc (for example, say, a course design doc) so that we can match the formatting and flow, then we delete their content and add our own. So we do it all the time just to make sure our styles are consistent department-wide.
Or is it that the kid took your doc, deleted the parts that made it clear you'd written it, and then turned it in as his/her own? THAT we don't do...

Worse. They copy/pasted an already-graded fellow student's doc, with the teacher's post-grading formatting pointing out mistakes and wrong answers still intact. And then turned that in as their own.

It was a grammar practice worksheet. Ten questions. Five of which were one-word answers, five of which were "label as correct or rewrite correctly." So..this whole incident was over having to write seven words and three sentences.
I'd highlighted the instructions where the student they'd copied from had done it wrong, then italicized their wrong answers. And that's what gets me - there's so little variation on what they could've typed that I probably wouldn't have noticed if they hadn't kept the highlights/italics intact. I mean...it's grammar. It's wrong, or it's right.
The student turned in a document past the due date that had my "you messed up" formatting that only happens after I grade it. So I checked the doc history - they'd deleted the text of the original worksheet and pasted the other student's incorrectly completed text.
The best part? Edit history showed a partial attempt with more correct answers than they copy-pasted from their friend.

I'd probably mock them exactly over this, showing them they failed exactly because they copied someone's else screed work.

Sounds to me like the wrong person was copying.

Thanks for clearing that up!
Yeah, I had an amazing copy job once, where a student copied from another student who got a dead-up F.
So they were so good at it I missed the copy (I'm usually pretty darned good at spotting 'em), but the answers were so bad it was easy to turn them in. Even the dean was smirking when they denied any wrongdoing. "Oh, really? Then can you both reproduce this bizarre answer, please?"
It was... interesting.

Speaking of children, the IRS is getting really interesting. My accountant now has to have physical proof that I have kids.
Which is pretty hilarious, since my kids go to school with his kids, and Impus Minor and his middle son are in the same homeroom.
"Can I just bring them in and you can take a picture?"
"No. It might just be any kid you found on the street."
"But you've met them at school. You'd recognize them."
"It might just be a major coincidence."
Stupidity, your depths no know bounds.

NH, I have to drive all over town every day thanks to kidlet's school and extracurriculars, and that sounds like a dead-on description of traffic here too. Glad to know we don't have a monopoly on annoying drivers. :P

Every single mile I had at least one each of:
"Well, I'm not sure where I am, so I'm going to slow down to a near-stop at every intersection to read the street name and check my map, then accelerate and swerve, just in case anyone tries to get around me. I mean, if *I'm* not in a hurry, nobody else can possibly be, right?"
"I've come to the Stop sign, stopped, and waited at least 10 seconds for a hole in traffic. Since there hasn't been one, it means I just get to go and bull my way into traffic, right?"
"I'm a bicyclist. Just because I'm on a dedicated bike path that has a little mini Stop sign, a warning sign that says, 'All bicycles must stop', and Stop painted on the ground twice in front of me doesn't mean I have to stop. I'm just going to blow into traffic and make the cars slam on their brakes. They deserve it."
By the time I got there I was just ready to abandon my car entirely. Instead I took the freeway home. Traffic jams are better than local traffic. Sheesh.
i find the second one interesting. Around here you'll get a ticket if you dont attempt to get into traffic after a stop sign.
I'd kill for a dedicated stop sign for when I'm on the bike. But only if it is treated as an actual stop sign.

Yeah, that's just weird to me. The whole point of a two-way stop is that the other road is a "thoroughfare" that you shouldn't be jamming up. Forcing yourself in causes the entire thoroughfare to stop, so you're inconveniencing dozens, if not hundreds of people due to your impatience. So interestingly enough, try that in California and if someone decides to hit you for it you'll be at fault.

To be clear, this isnt to say you will be ticketed if you refuse to tbone your way into traffic after a stop sign. If you are turning with the flow of traffic, you are expected to attempt to join that flow in a reasonable manner- not simply jump in. If you are just waiting to go through then you are waiting to go through.

OK. THAT is what's expected here.
But what we have are people who just feel like, "Oh, I've waited long enough. I'm hitting the gas and the other guy'll hit the brakes. It'll be fine."
And that "waited long enough" is usually under 15 seconds.

Hmm. I just had a really bad case of sloth today. I told my company I was going to take some time off in the morning to see the doctor(who opens at 9 am), and poof my mom wakes me up at 8.45 am.
Usually I'm up by 7.30 am. I have no idea what came over me and I'm really ashamed of myself.
