Plagiarism is stealing or copying some one's ideas and thoughts. Rephrasing words or sentences doesn't means you are not plagiarising because you are still using someone else's ideas, thoughts and their work.
Plagiarism is not allowed in school because from copying and pasting you don't learn anything. You simply steal other people's idea and show it as your work. It's not your effort therefore, teachers can't give you marks for it. Teachers want students to learn and write by themselves with their own thoughts and ideas which means you can not copy other peoples work and show as your and get marks. Plagiarism puts you behind in work because you do not understand the concept on that certain topic.
My experience in plagiarism was when I wrote my English essay by the help of online study guides from Internet which was not a good decision. I lost marks because of copying and also I did not knew what am I writing about and what certain word means. When teacher came up to me and asked me what it means I was totally clueless. It didn't help me to learn it just shut my brains off towards it because I didn't pay much attention towards it.
