In the early grades it’s best to “copy” things exactly like or as close to the real thing. Teachers don’t take to kindly to the creative concept so much. It’s more of a requirement in high school, and in undergraduate, graduate, and post graduate studies, original work is a required part of academic integrity and submitting someone else’s work as your work without referencing the originator as the source is plagiarism and may lead to expulsion.
A word to Sally and those like her: Brothers and sisters should always have each other’s back. Nothing is more irking when a family member joins the crowd and turns against another family member. When others turn against one’s family member(s), it’s time to “drop those people like a hot potato”.
what goes around will come back around !!!
