You are researching: Should schools start later to improve middle school student sleep? A student writes this sentence in the draft:
"Teen brains naturally fall asleep later, so early school start times reduce total sleep and can harm learning." The student got this idea from a 2022 article on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) website but did not use quotation marks or a citation. Does this count as plagiarism? A) No, because it is common knowledge that teens like to stay up late
B) Yes, because the student used an idea from a source without giving credit
C) No, because the student changed the wording and did not copy exact sentences
D) Yes, but only if the student also copied pictures or graphs from the AAP website
