Essays

I read an interesting post over at Mother Jones about essay mills. Apparently many college students are turning to companies that churn out generic essays as a way of making it through school. Professors continue to assign predictable prompts which allows these essay mill companies to thrive.

This is all well and good, but what struck me was the insinuation that students do this all the time. Have you ever used an essay mill to buy a paper? Do you have friends who have done this? Inquiring minds want to know!
