C's are NOT acceptable.

You know how Ms. Brittain said that it was unacceptable for me to "recycle" the 1st paragraph of AR Journals? Well, she's giving me zeros on all of the, which brings me down to a 78.

I Can't make a C!

I think she should give me 50% or something for them, 'cus otherwise I'm being given the same treatment that the kids got who didn't do any work, who cheated on the WHOLE thing. If that's my punishment, a zero on all of them, why should I have even bothered trying to write them at all? Besides, it's not like I knew that I was cheating by using the same summary paragraph- I thought she was reading them! My thought process was that if she told me that it was cheating, then I wouldn't do it anymore; but because she didn't say anything, I thought it was acceptable.
The kids who copied the whole paper HAD to have known they were cheating, so I guess there's no excuse for them, but what about me?
I think I should get partial credit. I asked me dad if he could call her and discuss it with her. Oh, and I calmly asked if her I could have partial credit for them and she replied, "sorry, it's all or nothing."
Ugh, what on earth makes her act like...........
