[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC couldn't figure out where points got deducted, thought it's a A.[/quote]

So one of my kid’s friend will write a paper for English like an hour or two before it is due. The kid gets A’s every time. This is at a big3 that many posters complain about the grading being too hard in English. [/quote]

[b]Some people are just naturally good at writing.[/b]  I have a DC who has always excelled at this. No idea where it comes from - they just have it and teachers pointed it out as early as 3rd grade. It's easy for that DC to write well and they understand the analytical component too. Other DC will craft high quality work with same grade, but it takes more effort and it's never got quite the same elegance. It's just one of those skills some people possess.  (much like any other skill/knack that a person can have)  [/quote]

This type of advanced writing skill is typically the result of extensive time spent reading -- or being read to -- both fiction and non-fiction -- at a young age. [/quote]

Yes it is the parents fault.[/quote]

Parents have a major role, no?[/quote]
