Journal #80
Phoebe is a senior and president of the student body. Lately she is becoming more and more overwhelmed by her rigorous AP course load and college applications. She has been sick for the past month and has fallen behind in many of her classes. Her application to UCLA and her AP Art History paper are both due on Monday. It’s Sunday now. Phoebe makes a tough decision and copies the entire section on Impressionism on her paper, finishes her application and goes to bed. On Monday, Phoebe turns in her paper.

By lunchtime, Phoebe’s AP Art History teacher had asked to see her. He quickly realized the fact that a large portion of her paper was copied from the internet and confronts her about it. Phoebe bursts into tears and explains to him about all the pressures of being sick, taking five AP’s, playing three varsity sports and being president of the student body. UCLA is her number one choice for college and she felt she had to make a choice.

Phoebe’s teacher turns her in to the school honor council. The council is made up of five students who make decision when it comes to cheating or lying.  She is very remorseful and volunteers to give a speech to the student body apologizing for what she has done. She also begs the honor council not to write to the colleges that she has applied to, as she has worked so hard throughout her high school career and is applying to the most competitive colleges and universities.
What should the honor council do?
