Should I expel this kid?

[AirPumpClock]

Warn him that you've caught on to him, but don't turn him in for it. But let him know that that won't get him anywhere in graphic design.

EDIT: Never mind. I wouldn't know what to do. However, if you let him just keep doing it, there's two good things that may come from it:

1. He may be just having personal issues and may need to find an easy way to get by. Perhaps he may be a good graphics designer, just not up to the task of actually being one at that moment. I've had those moments, particularly when deadlines draw near.

2. If he seriously wants to get by that way as he continues on, he won't get very far in the real graphic design world. If he doesn't have the skills/natural ability, he won't be able to compet with the rest.

It's not against the rules if you don't get caught.

Too bad for him, he got caught. Expel the faggot.

and this is what amkes me say ''dont give him up''. he may be a kick ass artist.

Yes. I'd say, make sure he doesn't do this consistently. And if he does, he's only screwing himself, unless you can convince him to not screw himself over.

How the hell does letting him get off with stealing graphics help him develop as a graphic artist? If anything, it tells him that he can get away with shit like that and that he doesn't have to do his own work. If he gets caught, he'll think "Damn, I have to get my shit together and start doing my own work."

I don't think he'll get expelled for this. I doubt teacher is going to instantly lose all faith in him and send him away. She'll give him some lenience, especially if she thinks he has talent.

[miracle fruit]

dont feel remorse for ruining his life i mean what the fuck is he gonna do if he gets a job as a graphic designer anyway? his boss is gonna want specifics and he cant do it because he just steals shit

[miracle fruit]

can his ass

[LuxenbergClock]

miraclefruit makes a pretty good point

[Topcatyo]

Hmmm... Well I think I might send an anonymous e-mail to my graphics teacher. This may bring the best of both worlds.

I don't want to tell him, because he'll probably just get sneakier about stealing shit. The only way I found the images I did was because I saw their filenames which he I'm a edgy teenly kept the same when he downloaded them. He also seems good at BSing.

Also, I'll tell my graphics teacher because I think she loves him and she'll probably bury the issue from other teacher, but punish him a decent bit (without expelling him) and stop acting like he's the God of graphic art. And just to clarify, he's not just tracing things, he's also outright stealing. This exact image (http://www.pauloarraiano.com/images/illustration_commercial/chupachups_02.gif) was in his final portfolio for illustration, taken from this artist's site: http://www.pauloarraiano.com/ Fuckin' BS.

And yes, I WILL TAKE HIM DOOOWN!

Sounds good.  Be sure to include concrete undeniable proof he stole the stuff.

[Joey 57857]

Here is what you should  do exactly give him a fair warning to stop what he is doing and do the shit himself or you will rat on him. If he continues then tell on him and he deserves to be ruined.

I do cheat my way around things and make half-assed Flash animations to get really good non computer related grades, but I don't usually plagiarize. However, particularly for subjects I don't care about, I tend to like to find the easy way out.

and you're in high school

[buttplug]

I was going to say don't get him expelled, but then again I would never do that so go ahead and tell the professor I guess.

[SeedClock]

i think he'll pay the price when he has an actual job and is trying to pull that shit off

[SeedClock]

I have a B in art because i dont show up and now i have to work my way up to the truly easy A that it is

[patriotclock]

Rat him out it will be funny but do it secret so you don't look like a faggot.

[DillClock]

i am so looking forward to the outcome of this
