Frustrated with lack of effort on essays

They are making the Common Ap essay and assignment in English class, why they didn’t do this last year is beyond me. She already got pointers from the teacher and thinks she has a topic. A first draft is due within the next few days and she is working on that. Thank God. I think it will get done, if not by October 1st, definitely by the EA deadlines for the schools that offer and hopefully by mid-October with rewrites. I have decided to back off and just accept that it is not getting done on my time table but it will get done in time.
