[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am observing the grades and comments given by the English teacher. Though I would like him to work independently on his classwork and homework, I am seeing a trend that he is falling short of and loosing points due to some silly mistakes. e,g I saw a feedback on his work "-2pt instead of saying "because everyone else is scared to go out and take images and videos", you should say "due to Margaret Bourke-White's fearlessness with her camera..." Is this fair grading? How can we help at home to improve the quality of his work? Any good resources to help kids improve their writing skills? TIA[/quote]

It sounds like your kid is getting amazing feedback targeted at pushing their skills from good to great. I can’t believe your teacher has time to give this kind of feedback - you’re lucky!

But because I doubt there’s class time to 1:1 go through every students feedback, the way you can help at home is by sitting down and talking through the feedback with your kid: why do you think this is the way your teacher suggests writing? How does rephrasing the sentence to center the photographer, rather than eveyone else, change what you’re saying?, etc.
