[quote=Anonymous]I know it's super tempting to help. And I think it's ok to help your kid brainstorm initial ideas -- for example, if they just can't think of a time when they were inspired by math, you could say, "how about writing about that time when ..." But I don't think it's ok to give them a lot more guidance than that. If you think they did a quick/sloppy job, you could tell them you know they can come up with something more organized/descriptive etc. Anything more that that is crossing the line, I think. And it's important to remember that if they can't write in an organized way on their own, they might not be ready for the work that's done in the magnets, particularly Eastern. My DC just started there, and the teachers are quite demanding and expectations are very high. So in many ways it's a disservice to your kid to help them. But remember, too, that the test is the most important thing.[/quote]
