Should students receive a failing grade for plagiarizing?

Yes, I think students should receive a failing grade for plagiarizing. I feel this way because if students copy someone else's work they're not putting any effort into what they're doing. This shows that they don't pay very good attention to the ACADEMICS that they are being taught. Also, if the student is stealing someone else's DOCUMENT or piece of writing and aren't being punished for it that is showing them that taking credit for what someone else did is okay when it is not. Things like this should be unacceptable in school. So things like this don't happen, the computers in school should be under MAXIMUM security. This way it would be much harder for students like me to steal somebody's writing. Plagiarizing is very wrong and things should be done to prevent this until people learn that it is wrong.
