[quote=Anonymous]The composition assistants with whom I've worked have all had college degrees; one even earned her PhD. So that position usually attracts educated women. When I taught AP literature, I would split essays with them. They would make their comments in pencil so that I could erase what I thought wasn't necessary. Usually, however, they were on the mark. So as I typed up my comments, I included theirs. I had two classes, each with over 30 students. So while I tried my best to get through their writing prompts as quickly as possible, it did help to have an extra set of eyes - even if it took longer. I found that if teachers have respect for these assistants (telling students that there are TWO adults in the room capable of guiding them), they do their best to become familiar with the teacher's instructional practices.
