[quote=Anonymous]My son and I talked through an overall process for writing the essay including proofreading. We blocked out time to work on it. I set a deadline for a first draft and second draft. It's hard not to intervene because he's leaving out relevant information and focusing on generalities that apply to many kids. His composition skills are less advanced than I had assumed. He wants to get it done as fast as possible. As much as I want to intervene, I'm not going to. If I start giving undue assistance now, when will it end? We are not going down that road. If that means he doesn't get in a competitive magnet program, so be it. Maybe he's not ready for it and would be better off in a different program. [/quote]
