So turns out the whole GW Carver pencil thing is true:
“He taught himself to read. His family was so poor, he couldn’t afford to buy a pencil, so he made a holder and used a pencil that was only 1/4 inch long.” got it from this website. Apparently so did my student who “didn’t plagiarize.” Wrong again.
Sorry, I am a huge asshole.
