Psst! Fifty Bucks for a Book Report?

Back in my day we just copied off of each other on tests, but students these days are much more savvy. They hire people to do their homework for them on Upwork.

Nobody comes out and says, "please do my homework assignment," but there are usually other telltale signs that your potential employer is a well-to-do, lazy teenager—the details are vague, it involves a book that every high schooler is forced to read, or it's due the same day.

Here are a few that just scream, "Please do my homework!"

"Article on Mother Ignacia"

"Two short summaries on famous literature"

"Research report due in a few hours"

"Religion assignment"

I said most of them don't come out and say it's coursework, but that last one is pretty straightforward about it. Maybe they are feeling particularly guilty about somebody doing their religion homework? 

Wanted—a two-page paper on plagiarism for my ethics class.
