How does it measure a student’s writing ability or his/her ability to choose and develop a topic that reflects something about him/herself, if there are adults editing and otherwise guiding the process? A lot of the essays I know about through friends and their kids are formulated by a paid advisor, a parent, a book – how does that reflect the student’s writing strengths?
