[quote=Anonymous]My son is 8. I guess I am frustrated that he doesn't even provide details in creative writing assignments where there is no right answer. The teacher is just trying to ascertain what's going on in there and while he's a bright kid, his writing suggests nothing is going on in there. For example, sometimes I give him writing prompts. The last one was a picture of a bunch of kids on some swings and I asked him to write a story about the children. He could write anything. Again, there is no right answer. He wrote 2 sentences about the kids on the swings. Really???? Recently, the kids had an assignment in school about making a meal for their family and they had to write what they would make. He wrote that he would make a sandwich and serve it on a plate. No details about what was in the sandwich, what he would serve with the sandwich, why he would serve a sandwich, would it be a hot sandwich or cold sandwich. Nothing. His teacher wrote all types of notes about what would be on it? And how we would serve it. AGH! This kid. [/quote]
