Ginevra Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 But it takes 12 hours to bring his marked-up rough draft into a final research paper that will hopefully earn him an "A." Or a B -, even. I'm not that picky. Sheesh. I deserve a Mike's Hard. I would rather write ten of my own research papers than help one teenager write his. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Yep. We were supposed to be done with school last Friday but have about a week more of math (because we skipped math every day she had a track meet), a handful of English assignments, and then the final essay. She was supposed to write a first draft last Monday--I think she may have an outline. I would love to get to the marked-up draft stage! At this rate we'll be schooling until the public schools are out on the 16th. Bleah. I'm ready for a break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) ROFL - boy do I hear you. 15.5 year old boy had to right a 250 word essay for an application to an auditioned musical theater/opera program he REALLY wants to get into again for his 2nd year. We went around on the editing like 5 times on it! I swear it looked like a 10 year old wrote it the first round. And I know this kid is fully capable. He has summer on the brain. We got it done this evening. I'm celebrating with hard cider. ;) Edited June 1, 2016 by WoolySocks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
