[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take issue with the folks who complain about the essay. While I concede the grading of an essay may be subjective — it is valid for Walls to test whether a student writes well, since it is a humanities based curriculum that calls for students already having basic writing skills. It is fair for them to want to see a writing a sample from prospective students. [/quote] I agree with this. Asking kids to write the essay there is also the most fair way to get a writing sample. The SSAT and the ISEE also have essays. No one complains about that.[/quote] Because there you have professional graders using evidence-based rubriks and with zero personal/ political agenda. Very different here.[/quote]
