@Brian: No I didn’t. A few years later—in 4th grade—I suddenly got tagged as a “troublesome” kid when a teacher asked me to run an errand to the teachers lounge and put her styrofoam cup back. I went in, had no idea how electric stoves work and just put the styrofoam cup on the electric stove. It caught on fire and I got blamed. Suddenly I became a “bad” student because I improperly placed a styrofoam cup on a stovetop. NYC Board of Education is garbage.

i think the only original report i wrote was in 8th grade with a book review of "The Yearling"; all others were carefully clipped pieces from the books i had to read on the subject matter. many times i even added a mis-spelled word or wrongly worded sentence to throw the teacher off. i always wondered if they checked the bibliographies i compiled to see how much was copied.

My parents were both teachers, and Would never stand for plagiarism of any sort. However, my brother is two years older than I am, and on more than one occasion, I resubmitted his assignments to a couple of the "flightier" teachers we both had. They never noticed.

I don't think that Burgesses' implication was that the teens thought it was hip to be tools of Soviet violence, rather that Russian (along with Cockney and Gipsy slang) was incorporated into their "Nadsat" dialect, because Russian had replaced French as the second language taught in the grade schools in England, an indication of a progressively Communism-friendly England.
But... in light of recent events, seeing as a sign of a direct, disrupting Russian influence is intriguing
