So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin... Hey, didn't you watch every episode of the Flintstones after school and memorize them too?
THIS STORY CRACKS MY ASS UP!!
Term Paper Mills Online 2nd Only to Porn Sites In Profitability!
I knew I quit grading 1st year comp papers for a fucking reason! Nobody was writing the damn things. Nobody in my class at least. Cut and paste city. I tried to warn my colleagues, tried to tell them that this was happening right now, in their classes. They would just say vague things like, well we just have to do more research to catch these people. Or if we just pay more attention (anal anal alert!) to each and every student's multitudinous drafts and UNIQUE writing style, I'm confident we can catch them...
Deluded. Clueless. The fix was in the day copy and paste worked on the Web. If I were in college now, I'd probably even be doing it. Wait, isn't that what this blog is? An endless chain of links from one blurbette to the next blurbette, the game of Rumor, or EVEN the ULTIMATE in Postmodern fragmented and collaborative selves constructing themselves and (re)constructing or (de) constructing themselves in the multilayered contexts! YES! That's the ticket.
Now where can I get PAID to write these fucking papers?!

Teachers are also among the more frequent visitors to the term-paper sites they so abhor. In a user survey conducted by SchoolSucks, 48 percent of visitors to the site identified themselves as teachers.
Presumably, most were using the site to weed out plagiarism in their classrooms, although Sahr says he also gets resumes from teachers interested in working as term-paper writers.
But unlike many other sites that provide custom papers, SchoolSucks doesn't pay for material. Thus, it provides little opportunity for out-of-work term-paper writers.
Sahr says students should also keep the free submission policy in mind before they consider copying a paper from his archives. Even if they don't get caught, it might not be the greatest academic move.
"It doesn't say on the papers 'A plus' or 'A minus' or anything. In fact, I think a lot of them stink," Sahr said.
