[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't try to write the essay for your kid, period. If they can't handle this 250 words essay, they can't handle the pressure for college application. [/quote] Good thing this isn't a college application.[/quote] More to the point, if an 8th grader isn’t yet able to independently write a 250-word essay, the regular 9th grader curriculum should be plenty challenging for them — no need for a magnet.[/quote] I don't think any of the 8th grade parents chiming in here are saying their kids can't independently write an essay, but the question is pretty generic so maybe their kids just want some suggestions on how to approach it. Some folks have responded with suggestions, so thank you! But if you don't have anything to offer but snark, maybe don't bother. [/quote]
