EDUCATION: When Good Writers Go Bad

Or, maybe I finally found me a way to make some money.

Yes folks, plagiarism is a good option for students who are simply too stressed and busy to write their own papers. And now it seems that even this service has ended up as an outsource to India. I’ve noticed over the years of writing literary posts that there’s a stunning number of folks looking up (doing research?) on all the literature that I’ve myself posted upon. It’s a tipoff that either I hopefully have inspired someone or else they’re busy copy and pasting whole entries when they follow the posts on a particular novel or short story and spend some time reading the entries.

So why shouldn’t I get paid for them instead of giving them away free? The students don’t seem to think it’s wrong:

XXX paid Essay Writers $100 to research and write a paper on the parables of Jesus Christ for his New Testament class. XXX, a senior at James Madison University majoring in philosophy and religion, defends the idea of paying someone else to do your academic work, comparing it to companies that outsource labor. “Like most people in college, you don’t have time to do research on some of these things,” he says. “I was hoping to find a guy to do some good quality writing.”

See? They’re busy. Just too busy to do it themselves. Busy getting an education so that they can enter the real world and continue faking their intelligence there. Well, I guess they are learning something; how to use the internet to achieve your goals. And hey, if it fulfills my goal of making a living then it’s pure symbiosis. And there appears to be a huge market:

Some customers of Essay Writers are college freshmen who, if their typo-laden, grammatically challenged order forms are any indication, struggle with even the most basic writing tasks. But along with the usual suspects, there is no shortage of seniors paying for theses and graduate students buying dissertations.

And, I speak and write the English Language pretty grammatically correct:

She was not happy with the paper Essay Writers provided. It seemed, she says, to have been written by a non-native English speaker. “I could tell they were Asian or something just by the grammar and stuff,” she says.

Heh-heh. Yeah, I’d be good at this; my own papers have never been less than an A grade and I’m good at proper MLA or whatever citation form is required (mostly because I found time to learn and do it myself in college.  As Willie sings it: “Old age and treachery, always overcome youth and skill.”

    It is I- XXX, here to respond to you’re misled beliefs on this story. First of all, its true that I contacted an essay website, I was in a panic, and I wanted to give it a try. I never had any intention of turning in the paper custom-written for me because that would obviously be plagiarism. I was hoping that it would spur some ideas of my own because I was having a huge mental blank. The day after I hired the service, I wrote the paper myself and got a top 3 grade in the class. I realized that I do have the confidence and ability to write a good paper. Yes, I was wrong for attempting to ask someone to do my work for me, but hey I made a mistake, and I learned from it. My problem is with this reporter-Thomas Bartlett who like most reporters, never accurately record quotes. I NEVER said that it was acceptable to have someone research for you. Furthermore, I did not say I defend the idea of paid research either. This reporter took some of my words out of context and embellished it with his own words to prove his point. Talk about ethics, this reporter needs to check himself out. My professor actually refused to be included in this article because he thought the reporter had suspicious techniques for gaining and reporting information. In conclusion, I do not condone academic paid research or false statements by obnoxious reporters. I learned that reporters are like rappers- you can’t believe everything they say (they might be high on something).
