I’ve seen kids (from elementary school through grad school) getting busted right in front of the class - both for using words they couldn’t define and for not being able to answer simple questions about what they wrote. When I saw the kid in the 5th grade get busted, I decided to go ahead and do the work.

Most kids are SOOO freakin’ obvious about it it isn’t even a challenge. And then they act surprised when they get caught.

My favorite was someone who turned in a research paper, and embedded in the text at several points was “Property of the PaperStore.” He didn’t even bother to look at what he’d cut and pasted. That and the bunch of guys who all turned in identical homework assignments which all had the same “author” name on the Word properties screen.
