Thanks for your comment. It seems these false positives are going to happen more and more. The only move available is to stay in conversation so that humanity (not algorithms prevail). In this case, the teacher wasn't interested in hearing my daughter's explanation. She was looking for guilt and found evidence of it. My daughter had to withdraw from the class. It was a tough lesson about bias. My daughter will make sure her next class is in-person so the teacher gets to know her --both her writing and her character.
Wow, the Turnitin part really hit! How do we explain 'Integrity Drift' when algorthms decide?
