Id let it slide. If you receive an A in the class is it really going to matter if it is a 93-A or a 100-A? I dont know about how college is but my son had a test and he had a problem which was RIGHT 100% right. I took it to the teacher myself and she became even more critical of my son. She assigned a "family project" where he had to research and write about three different figures in US history. I cannot remember who he chose but I do clearly remember one was Abraham Lincoln. I helped a little as it said on the paper family help was allowed. We got info online and from books but she did not require him to site his sources. One of the sources was wikipedia I think. We copied the line about when/where Abraham Lincoln was born. I dont remember the date but the sentence on the site was : Abraham Lincoln was born on xx/xx/xxxx in whatever city. Something like that. It was the ONLY sentence copied exactly. He got an F on it. First she claimed she had never said it was a family project and had a new flyer...in fact a huge stack of flyers saying it wasnt when I called to have a meeting with the principal. It was different then the one my son brought home but of course I could not find the one he had brought home saying your family could help. When I asked them to show me where my son plagarized the site they could site only that one sentence in a report which was one full page long. How many more ways is there to word so and so was born on such a day? I was beyond angry. She was clearly targetting my son at that point. So I insisted he be moved and he was. He did so much better in the new class and I never had an issue with the new teacher. So my point is if you challenge the teacher it may make you a target and if you already receiving a good grade maybe its not worth it to become a target.
