According to this article, Haley Lodge plagiarized twice on her essays and in result got expelled from her school. I believe that her plagiarsm was habitual and has to be fixed. The author reported that she'd already read the book and knew what she wanted to write on her second essay, but she just plagiarized from other's words from internet. Even though she could have written her papers by herself, she habitually copied other essays and rewrited them in her own words.
As I mentioned above, Haley got expelled from the school due to her plagiarism twice. I don't think that punishment on her was harsh and rigorous. Her first plagiarism was probated and she had been suspended. However, she hadn't ceased and did it again. Her punishment was proper and suitable to show standard to students how plagiarism is a strict disobedience.
I more agree with Berkman. Although it is true that Haley's mother said their kids has lived in different worlds that they've lived, just copying and pasting other's words are absolutely wrong. It also give negative effects to develop their child's creativity. I think that Berkman's opinion of preventing plagiarism is good for students.
