[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will be going to NCS as a 9th grader and I want her to hit the ground running and get an A in English. I know that NCS English is brutally hard, but getting A's is of paramount importance. Can someone give us advice on how to prepare for NCS English essays? What resources do you find helpful for your daughter? What do the teachers usually look for when grading the essays?[/quote]

You sound mentally ill. Please get help before you harm your daughter.

No one can give you foolproof advice because whether your daughter can do well will depend on what kind of education she’s had for the last 9 years from K-8 and her current level of writing.

Writing well is one skill that cannot be developed overnight. If your daughter has not received absolutely superb writing training to date, even having the best writing tutor in the world might not get her an A the first semester.

Get this. It will NOT be her fault. She may work to the utmost of her ability and still end up with a B+. There are NCS teachers who won’t give As.

If you keep the kind of pressure on her that you’re expressing here, you may end up with a mentally ill daughter who harms herself. Just stop. [/quote]
