[quote=Anonymous]Through MS and into HS we edited our DC's English essays. In the beginning, we did a lot. By sophomore year we were only doing a little and we might have looked a one paper during junior year. For DC's college essay, they did most of the changes but we pointed out the lines that we though could use the most work. Our experience was that parts of the essay were really well written and then the transition would be mush. Once the subject and flow of the essay was set, we had DC ask lots of people to read it and help polish. We certainly put our two cents into the polishing but it is likely we only pointed out about 3 things each. DC also got similar input to the polishing stage from two teachers, 3 grandparents, one sibling and 4 friends.[/quote]
