In Writing to Learn classes, the student is instructed on the assignment sheet to take work to the Editor for review at regular intervals. The Parent Editor commits to:
Checking emails regularly. This is how I communicate with parents and students about issues on homework, notifications to check grades, assignment corrections and clarifications, and many other issues. Reading the pages assigned in the handbook so they know what their students are working on. Parents can't help if they don't know what we're doing. Keeping the student on track with the 9-day writing schedule. Procrastination is a death sentence for writing success. Working with the student to the extent necessary to complete the assignments. Reviewing and helping the student correct missing or incorrect items on the current assignment. Assuring that the completed homework is turned in on class day. Reviewing grades and comments on returned assignments so they can know what the student needs to correct on the next assignment.
