The revised version was a major improvement. In situations where group classes are not possible and no help seems to be available, take advantage of long distance help. No grades are issued, but they include helpful suggestions for improvement. I have a feeling that the Kustusch family is likely to be overwhelmed with response since their charges are so reasonable. Don't rely on workbook exercises to teach young people how to write effectively, or you are likely to be disappointed.
Writing needs to be an interactive, shared process.
That will not happen unless we make development of writing skills a priority in junior and senior high children. This means that we take extra time and seek out the resources and assistance we need to make that happen. There's many a slip between the cup and lip. The fraud has worked. Congress has now passed President Clinton's so-called 'deficit reduction' bill, with retroactive tax rate increases and 'spending cuts' postponed for years, while total federal spending continues increasing every year.
