[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS English teacher here. It infuriates me to read about the HS teacher not providing feedback to students. How are they supposed to improve? I chunk my students’ writing assignments and provide feedback at each step. Yes, it takes time, but helping students become better writers is a big part of my job - and I knew it would be when I chose this role. Over the years, I have figured out different systems to streamline my workflow; it is still time consuming, but it’s important. The “students who want feedback can seek me out” excuse is lazy at best and discriminatory at worst. Shame on you, PP.[/quote]

Oh nonsense. The kind of feedback OP wants, yes , that warrants a conference. I am an English teacher too so when you mention you’ve stream lined your workflow I know what you mean: you’re only choosing certain skills to feedback on . If OP and her son or any kid want personalized in depth feedback, you and I both know it’s better for them to come talk to us so we can provide that than it is for us to spend 20 minutes on *every single paper* providing it when 99% of the kids don’t read it.

[b]I truly don’t understand how parents in this forum expect their kids to be college ready. How will your freshman college student navigate professor officer hours if they apparently can’t and won’t even take 10 minutes out of their study hall block to go get feedback with their teacher in a writing conference?

THIS IS UTTER NONSENSE.
A 15 year old is not a mini college student.  If teachers aren't teaching kids to do this then they will not be college ready at 18 or 19.  Don't give me this crap about being college ready as a 9th or 10th grader.  That is lazy and ridiculous.  [/quote]

A 15 year old is old enough to have a job!! They can handle talking to a teacher!!! It's lazy and ridiculous for us as parents to make these types of excuses for our kids instead of helping them learn to self-advocate!

+1, if my 2nd graders can ask me a question about a question they got wrong on a test, a 10th grader can.[/quote]
