My oldest niece is 15 years old and yesterday my wife and I were kinda her out with a research project she was doing.
She's a good kid and has always done well in school. I think she has been teetering though with working really hard at school and getting great grades, or working enough at school to get good enough grades. Well yesterday she asked us what we thought about someone doing homework (or parts of it) for another person. I guess she knows some kids in her school that get other kids to do work and either pay them or give them things like video games or whatever.
The wifey and I talked about it afterward and both of us remember those websites and ads in college about essay writing service. We both know a few people who used them, and I even knew a person who worked for one. If you don't know, I'm talking about sites like, https://essayshark.comwho offer those services.
It all makes me think, if, for example, I do the research and provide the notes and main points/argument, etc, but another person writes it, who does the work belong to? I know she's gonna ask me so we are trying to be on top of it and give her a good (but not preachy) answer.
Thoughts from you guys?
