[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I care enough to compensate for the general decline in my kids education. This will result in a larger gap between them and their peers who relied on public education alone. Many folks were doing this anyway. The gap is just going to grow larger.[/quote]
How do you compensate? I feel like the biggest gap is writing. [/quote]

You don’t learn how to write until grad school. [/quote]

Speak for yourself. I learned to write during high school. By the time I got to college, the expectation was that we knew how to write. As for grad school: no one at UChicago was going to teach PhD candidates how to write.[/quote]

No I’ll speak for the hundreds of undergrads and graduates that I’ve thought. And all the undergrads were just like you, so sure they knew how to write, only a small fraction actually knew how to. But we are talking technical and scientific writing, not the width washy touchy feet stuff you probably do[/quote]
