One child had organizational issues and I taught her time and again the basic structure of a paper. Things like how many paragraphs, supporting sentences for each new idea, that you could write your conclusion first and intro paragraph last. This year freshman year of college she got A’s in her writing classes. I never saw a paper.

I don’t regret teaching her how to write. I never cared about the grades, I thought it was important she get more instruction than what she got at school.
