[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step up and [b]pay a professional for their opinion.  [/b]

Don't be an a** to your kid about the topic.  It is one thing to do it early on in the process but now it is too late. [/quote]

Completely unnecessary and ridiculous. The point of the essay is to see how a kid can write, in their own voice. OP’s kid did that. If everything else in their package is “tippity top,” a cringey topic won’t make or break anything. And if it’s really that bad, then maybe the kid just isn’t that tippity top after all.[/quote]

We are saying the same thing.  Leave it alone unless you pay a professional and find out that it truly is a lousy essay.  If you don't get a professional opinion, then you can't tell you kid that it is a bad essay when the kid has finished it and been to see his teacher and counselor and discussed it.[/quote]

OP here. I AM paying a professional. She didn't give topic advice whatsoever. She just dove in and started editing what DD already had written. [/quote]
