[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - If you kid is in high school, I don't think you should do anything.  Have your child go his/her/their counselor and speak with the counselor about the issue. They are trained to deal with these issues and if warranted, will address the issue with the department head.[/quote]

Also, I wanted to add that while it does sound like there is a legitimate issue here, I do think students struggle writing papers that require presenting viewpoints as opposed to arguing sides.  My daughter is in AP Seminar this year and the teacher told me during the first conference that the number one issue he works to overcome in the first quarter is the intense desire to argue side. Instead, he trains the students to present a thesis and analyzing/presenting the lens which contribute to the discussion of that topic, along with the limitations to the information presented. I realized this class is likely not AP Seminar, but it is possible the teacher has those same expectations.[/quote]
