One of my students tried to hand in a late essay and begged me to read it. After scanning through it, I realized I needed a psychology degree to translate it. 

“You sure you wrote this Rodrigo?" 

"Oh absolutely teacher”

2 minutes of looking through the internet I found the exact text on the first hit with google (really dude?) of which I showed my ‘diligent’ student. 

“Kinda looks like you copied and pasted buddy”

“Ya so what’s the problem?”

I have learned that plagiarism doesn’t exist in Peru and if I want a decent piece of writing, it’s gotta be in class. When I explain that it’s illegal in the States the unanimous response is, “Who cares? We’re in Peru”.
