re: college admission is contingent on academic honesty?

May 14, 2023

You may have better luck getting into a somewhat acceptable university if you use the invitation route. They do not require much from you except an application to their school. They do not mind your academic record so much as they are just after growing the number of paying students in their college or university. The school is about the bottomline. Some would call these schools a diploma mill since they do not have too many standards for their students in terms of previous academic accomplishments or their current enrollees grades. It would stand to reason that they would not care so much about your previous academic dishonesty either. Maybe they will care, but they will certainly be willing to overlook it. Don't be picky about what school you will be attending. You should go to the school that will accept you, in spite of your flaws as a student. It is important that you get into college, regardless of type.

re: schools: evolve or become obsolete?

May 12, 2023

Aside from elementary school where we all learned the rudiments of reading, writing and math, I really do not see why I am being stuck in school. I am really being hindered by the current educational system. They do not provide me with my needed learning inspiration. I get that from the internet. I am learning more from browsing about my interests and replicating YT videos than I do at school. Schools are limited in my opinio n. The teachers have limited schools and I often know more than they do about the subject. What I need is someone who can inspire me to learn more and actually provide me ideas that I have not come across online yet. It is not fair that I am made to stay in an outdated learning system just so that the business can stay afloat and employ under educated teachers. I can learn better from the weekend courses I attend that are run by actual professionals who know how to speak English. These educational places are incapable of evolving. The schools of any type will become obsolete in the future.

re: should students write their own recommendation letter?

May 4, 2023

There are times when we have no choice to but write the letter ourselves. Teachers and principals tend to be overwhelmed with work towards the end of the schoolyear or the start of college and scholarship applications. So they pass it off to their staff, who normally pass it back to us, the students. They seem to think that we can sound as professional as they can and, we can answer the reference letter prompts in an academic way. None of which we can do. I tried to write my own academic reference once, had it reviewed at the writing center without telling them that I wrote the letter. The reviewer knew I wrote it almost immediately. Then, I received a warning. If a student falsifies a recommendation letter, which is basically what the teacher and principals do, then the application is nullified. We lose our consideration chance. Since nobody wants that to happen, your best bet would be to have a professional writer come up with the recommendation letter for you. That is what I did and it sounded professional enough to pass as if my teacher and principal actually wrote the letter. Maybe you should consider doing the same?

re: possible writer blackmail: is it still worth it to hire them?

May 3, 2023

This is not a question that others can answer for you. This is more of a personal preference based on considerations you deem important to your academic and personal life. You know of the risks to hiring an academic writer, both academically and personally. If you are more than willing to take those risks, then you make the decision to go for it, regardless of what we think. If you are not willing to endanger yourself in terms of the same considerations, then do not do it. Why hire them if you are not comfortable doing so? Who ever said that it was necessary for you to do so? Nobody can assure you that you will not have a negative experience with these writers. Nobody can say with certainty that it will be a positive experience either. So what are you left with? You have to decide what you believe to be right for you in this case. Nobody can do that for you,.

re: possible writer blackmail: is it still worth it to hire them?

Apr 23, 2023

Is it worth it to hire an academic writer? Why are you hiring one in the first place? Having someone to write the paperwork for you defeats the purpose of studying. You hired the writer to make your life easier, but you never considered why you are in school in the first place. Writing is one of the main requirements for learning. You read, understand and write about the lesson. It becomes a part of your DNA when you do written work. You never forget the written lessons you learned. You will have a tendency to forget what you read though, since you did not need to commit it to memory. These are the reasons why you should be writing the paper yourself. Do not pass off your responsibility when it comes to written learning. It is just as important, if not more important than classroom learning and theoretical reading. Do it yourself. It is a requirement that you will be thankful for when the time comes.

re: schools: evolve or become obsolete?

Apr 23, 2023

Schools will not become obsolete no matter the number of Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerbergs, and others that come along. These big names all come from a common denominator. They all went to college somehow. They stayed long enough to convince themselves that they knew enough to get by in the world they wanted to thrive in. Not everyone will be as lucky as those people. There will still be more people who will need academic guidance and supervised practical training. These are the people who will keep universities and colleges in business. Nobody can become somebody just because AI coding is becoming a major part of the industry. Nothing automated ever works as expected. Human learning and experience will still be key to future developments in all fields. All of those will require academic learning and academic experience. It cannot be helped. There is a reason that schools were founded in the first place. Nobody could learn the things they needed to know alone. Even computers these days cannot do that for everyone. Schools will be here to stay.

re: should students write their own recommendation letters?

Apr 23, 2023

No. I do not believe that we should be writing our own recommendation letters like our teachers want us to. I am applying to college at the moment and I am also encountering the same problems you are when it comes to recommendation letter procuring. The colleges and universities have specific writing formats and questions that they ask about us that only teachers can respond to. When I tried to write a recommendation letter for myself, it sounded like a gradeschooler wrote it. It was totally unusable and the teacher who asked me to write it refused to sign it. Eventually, I hired a professional writer to develop my letters. He worked with my teacher and I with regards to the content. Only then did my teacher agree to sign the letter. It read and felt more like a teacher had actually written it. If you cannot get the teacher to write the letter for you, then hire a professional to do it for you.

should college students be admitted based on trauma essays?

Apr 23, 2023

Coming from a Catholic background where confession is a must, I feel like having to write these trauma essays for my college application makes me feel worse than confessing to my priest twice a year. The history of confession is based on emotional and religious blackmail. The questions that these prompts ask can be seen in the same light. Confess your trauma to the screener. For what purpose? How does that help with my application? My grades do not matter anymore? It does not seem to be a major consideration for school admission these days. The app questions are getting more invasive than ever.

While I will admit that I have a whopper background that would make for killer app responses, I do not feel comfortable doing so. What purpose does it serve? How does the university plan to use that information about me in the future? Surely they do not just read it for admission purposes then trash it after my admission or rejection. There is something else going on here. Something the university wants the information for and the students are too trusting to ask about.

re: labor based grading creates more responsible students?

Apr 22, 2023

My opinion is that Labor Based Grading made my kid more of a crammer than a responsible student. Since the lessons are modular in approach and they attend classes only for the purpose of attendance and practical exercises related to the lesson, he seems to have slacked off in terms of actual study and tends to wait the week before his submission deadline to actually study the lessons and complete the requirements for that term. Well, I have to admit, he seems to work better this way. His grades are alright and I do not need to nag him to go study anymore. He takes his sweet time but delivers results. So maybe the cramming actually works for him. Perhaps it is a case of to each his own? If cramming is what works for him then I guess Labor Based Grading delivers in terms of teaching him his lessons and actually having him remember it. He claims his classes are stress free these days so who am I to judge him?

should students write their own recommendation letter?

Apr 22, 2023

I am applying to college and one of the requirements of the schools I am applying to is that I have to submit a recommendation letter along with my documents. While I do have the good grades, community service, and even volunteer experience to make my application look great, I am having a problem getting recommendation letters from my teachers.

For some reason, they seem to want me to write the recommendation letter and then have them sign off on it. I am not sure if that is the right thing to do because I do not know how to write like my teacher. I wrote one letter and was told by the guidance counselor that it definitely sounded like the student wrote the recommendation. How can I fix this problem then? Shouldn't the teachers want to write the recommendation letter for me? I mean, I am an honor student afterall, it is not difficult for them to write the letter. They do not have to make up information about me. Is there a way I can get them to write the letter for me?

re: possible writer blackmail: is it still worth it to hire them?

Apr 22, 2023

You answered the question yourself. The writers blackmail the students. There is proof of this to be found in the forum section of this website. Do you really need to ask if you should take the risk then? My direct to the point response would be "Definitely Not!" Why risk your future by trusting a complete stranger to work on your paper? Not mention, allowing him to access your personal financial and student data without reason? I would not trust any company or freelancer for any reason. Regardless of their history and background, there is a first time for everything. There is a first time for a writer to blackmail a client even though he did not feel the need to do so in the past. Inflation hits everyone. Writers are affected by inflation the most since they work on a per project basis. If they do not make enough money to afford their monthly bills, you can bet that they will think about more than just increasing their per page charges. Do not hire writers anymore. This is not the climate within which they can be trusted with anything.

re: possible writer blackmail: is it still worth it to hire them?

Apr 22, 2023

It is important that you consider the cost of hiring a writer for your academic needs aside from the blackmail aspect. The money you pay them takes away from your allowance or salary, depending upon whether your parents support your studies or, if you support yourself. It is not cheap to hire a writer. Whether you hire through a conduit (writing company) or directly (freelancer), both will make you pay a hefty price for something that you should be doing yourself anyway. The main point of going to school is to learn. When you hire a writer to do your writing tasks, you lose out on the chance to learn some extra lessons, which is the reason homework and research are assigned work. The writer learns something, you don't. It doesn't seem like a fair exchange. I believe you should not hire a writer to do your work based on these reasons. You have to learn how to do the work yourself, save money, and allow yourself to learn the additional lessons that the curriculum provides.

re: should college students be admitted based on trauma essays?

Apr 20, 2023

I believe that students should receive scholarships based on trauma based essays. They should be judged on merit when it comes to admission as far as I am concerned. Do they have the grades? Do they have the mindset of a college student? Is he focused on this major? What has he done to prove these things? These are questions that the screener should actually be considering rather than the degree of their failures in life as dictated by the background of their parents. What does that prove? We should no longer allow diversity quotas in colleges and universities. That is why these trauma essays are trying to fill. Admission based on skin color, traumatic life experiences, and other negative events in the applicant's life. That is racist if you ask me. It eliminates the hard working students who believed that performing well in school and achieving the right grades will help you get further in life. Let's not reward hard work with non-admission. It has gotten to the point where well achieving students are having to lie on their application forms just to be considered for admission based on traumatic events that they have to make up to meet the consideration needs.

schools: evolve or become obsolete?

Apr 20, 2023

Schools will need to evolve if they want to remain relevant in the 21st century. I mean, with school violence, bullying, transgenderism indoctrination, and other problems on the rise in schools, most parents are opting to home school their kids. Why not? You want to see your kids grow up and survive you. You do not want to bury your kids or have problematic relationships with them. Both of which are clearly happening now. Too much government intervention is making schools lose their credibility as learning institutions. Parents are fighting the educational system these days. We are willing to defy the school board, or the government regulations all for the protection of our children and our rights to raise our children. We have the power to make schools obsolete and we should use that power as needed. We are going back to the pioneering times I believe. Those times when schooling was new to the Wild West and teachers had to plead with parents to let the kids attend school. Parents back then may have been on the right track.

re: possible writer blackmail: is it still worth it to hire them?

Apr 20, 2023

Students always need that extra helping hand when it comes to completing our academic work. We cannot do it all alone. Writer's can help take things off our plate that would otherwise be additional workload and stress for us. Their job is to help us graduate from high school or college. That is the bottomline. They offer a valuable assistance and service that cannot be easily disregarded. Does that mean we should continue to hire them? I believe so. Hire them with precautions in place. Maybe go with a freelancer rather than a company writer so that you can arrange a specific deal with the writer when it comes to revisions and quality guarantees. They are more flexible when it comes to those things when compared to writing companies that tend to have a cookie cutter warranty specification. The writing companies also present more problems when it comes to communicating with your writer and getting revisions done. I would say, hire writer's but not company writers. There are other options out there that can be considered for the job.

should college students be admitted based on trauma essays?

Apr 19, 2023

I saw a TED talk where the speaker, Tina Yong, spoke of how trauma based application essays do a disservice to the students. She mentioned considerations like the trauma that a student may have had from having a rough life, being an ESL, coming from a poor background, among others. All of which are supposed to help the reviewer decide if the student is worth a slot at the school. The implication is that not all students may be ready to talk about their painful experiences in life, or, the may not want to discuss it at all. I would like to add to that discussion.

Trauma based essays create problems for students who do not come from a traumatized background. Who come from families where hurt, shame, and embarrassment are not a part of their life. They have respectable parents, good grades, and are exemplary community members. Coming from a non-traumatized background creates a handicap for them. They do not have a sob story to tell. Does that mean the admissions officers consider them less qualified than the traumatized applicant? It sure appears that way.

schools: indoctrination or teaching channels?

Apr 19, 2023

I am getting really scared of the way our educational system has been going these days. Parents are being cut out of the educational process, teachers being given the ability to take children away from their parents, transgender shootings at schools, transgender teachings. Are we sending our kids to school or indoctrination camp? It feels like we are losing control of our kids. We cannot even help in developing their character and discipline. The schools are practically kidnapping our kids at this point. Moulding them into individuals who have no idea of who they truly are and how to live and get along with others whose opinions differ from them. Do you think the schools are trying to start a new type of civil war in our country? Using our children as the unknowing, innocent soldiers? For what cause? How can we stop it? Or do we just let the system take over our children without a fight? I for one, am willing to fight for my child and my right as his parent. How about you guys?

labor based grading creates more responsible students?

Apr 19, 2023

When the school board asked the parents to attend a meeting regarding a planned change to the way that the students would be graded in our state, I will admit that I thought they were crazy. I was hearing a lot of discussions about Labor Based Grading Systems from other parents whose children's schools already apply the new grading method. I was in disbelief because I grew up being tested and judged based on my memorized knowledge of what was being indoctrinated into our learning process. I was not convinced that labor based grading would benefit my kids since they would not be tested, but be given a chance to perform in class instead. This is where I was very wrong.

I found that my kids became more attentive to their studies under this system. They were eager to learn and go to school to perform the tasks upon which they were being graded. They have never brought home better grades ! So I guess I am now a believer. It creates more responsible and learned students in my opinion.

re: the case for ending the pass or fail grades

Apr 18, 2023

Schools are fighting for relevance these days. Aside from teaching us the basics of reading, the rest of the core subjects can be learned online, without the need for testing. Once a person knows how to read, he can learn everything else by himself. We have kids learning to code as early as the age of 6 these days. YouTube and Facebook have shown the kids that there are other and more enjoyable ways to make money that do not require them to sit in school to learn subjects of none interest to them. They do not need to pass or fail any subjects to make money at these websites. Blog writers can get paid for their material and advertising on their sites without knowing the rudiments of creative writer or journalistic premises. They pass and get validation from the money they make and growing their subscriber base. Do they think school is important then? Nope. All that matters is that they make money anyway.

re: re: college admission is contingent on academic honesty?

Apr 18, 2023

I made the mistake of hiring a writer to sit for my exam. Somehow, my school found out that I was not the one who took the remote test (this was during the Covid lockdown) and they put my exam results on hold. For weeks I did not know what was going on while they made me wait for my test results. I did not know why my results were on hold and what the final outcome might be. When the school finally got in touch with me, it was to ask me to get my parents on a video call with the school principal. Evidence of what I did appeared before my parents and I was suspended for a month at the time. My action appeared on my student record and was submitted to the schools where I was potentially admitted. My admission was rescinded from a majority of them. I ended up going to college at my last choice university. Our actions in high school have repercussions for our college admission. Tread carefully. Take the test yourself or complete the paper yourself. Do not hire a writer when you get to your junior and senior year.

re: possible writer blackmail: is it still worth it to hire them?

Apr 18, 2023

I know whar you mean. I find it difficult to trust academic writer's these days. I cannot differentiate between a company scammer and a freelancer blackmailer most of the time. They have almost become a singular entity in my mind. Yet, I need to hire one because of my current position of being a working student. I worry no end that at some point, this person or the company will try to blackmail me. They basically know when I am scheduled to graduate at this point. So I am dreading my senior year and what they might plan to do to me at the time.

If you are really worried about hiring a writer, then do not hire one. Maybe you can do the work yourself. That is, if your circumstances permit it. Hiring a writer comes with a grain of salt. No matter how perfect they seem on paper or when you talk to them over the phone, you still cannot trust that they are being on the level with you and that blackmail will not be their endgame. Be cautious. Writer's cannot really be trusted in general. That is my opinion.

finding a trustworthy writer

Apr 15, 2023

Is there a writer that can actually be trusted not to blackmail me in the future? How do I find one? I feel like the blackmailers are the ones who are most commonly hired through these forums. Should I hire company writers instead? I have so many questions, with so few answers coming from the threads of this forum. How can I get over my fears so I can hire a writer?

Actually, the forum is where students typically come for advice only after they've already been scammed and/or blackmailed by companies or writers they found on their own, elsewhere. In fact, I can't think of a single instance of anybody having been scammed or blackmailed by any writer found on the forum. That makes sense, because writers on the forum all have unique IDs and corresponding reputations to protect. Use writers' forum profiles to see whether they've been on the forum for only a relatively short time or for 10+ years. Also, check to see whether a writer pays the forum to advertise, because that means the writer's complete ID information must be known to the forum admin, since their payment system requires a credit card and all of the usual ID info corresponding to credit card purchases. Writers who scam their customers could never get away with that repeatedly without someone complaining about it publicly. Likewise, the one thing that all blackmailers rely on, by necessity, is anonymity. No writer whose real ID info is known to the forum admin and who lives anywhere in the US could ever hope to get away with blackmail, especially against victims found on a public forum.

Once you've identified a potentially trustworthy writer, ask to call that writer, ideally, on a landline, to see whether his number actually matches his claimed location and to confirm that it's a real person on the other end. After that, you can at least be sure that blackmail isn't going to be a risk with that writer. Try that writer with a short project first, just to see for yourself whether or not that writer is good. Your biggest risk that way is no more than the price of a short project, in the event you're not happy with the work you receive. Simply repeat all of the above for every new prospective writer. With only a little bit of luck, you might very well find yourself a really great writer on whom you can safely rely for years, on your very first try.

re: college admission is contingent on academic honesty?

Apr 15, 2023

When I was writing my college admission essays, I made sure to come clean with the universities I was applying to. I mentioned my academic performance and any misconduct punishments I had in the past. I used the essay prompts to help explain my situation and why I was forced into breaking the academic rules. I did my best to spin my negative record into a positive or, at the very least, a reason for them to consider if they could forgive my academic indiscretions. My parents were the ones who advised me to be honest in my application. That way I would not be disappointed if I did not get into the school. I found most of the schools I applied to had a soft spot for former academic violators. They were willing to give me a second chance. An opportunity to redeem myself. I guess I lucked out when I applied, they chose to not let my future be affected by my youthful actions. I hope you find a university or college like that. I am sure they will not judge your admission based on violations alone.

re: college admission is contingent on academic honesty?

Mar 25, 2023

I am proof positive that one can actually lose out on attending his or her first choice university because of academic dishonesty. It was during my senior year when I experienced study burn out and I just lost all interest in doing well in my classes. I was spent and needed a break. So I hired academic writers to do the work for me. I just wanted nothing to do with my schoolwork at that point aside from scoring well during my exams. As for the research papers and essays, I just did not have it in me to work on those anymore. Then, I got caught because the stupid writer plagiarized a majority of the paper via the cut and paste method. I was suspended for a month and it went on my student record. Although I did get admitted to my dream school, they rescinded my enrollment invitation when they read my academic record. They did not even give me probationary status. They just did not trust that I would not violate their academic oath if I attended their school. Luckily, my second choice university accepted me on probationary status so now, I am doing well in all my classes, without the help of academic writers.

re: how effective is quillbot

Mar 25, 2023

Quilbot released during a time when grammar checkers were becoming a useful writing tool for students online. The online writing assistant came out almost simultaneously with the more popular Grammarly website. There was a time when I was using both writing tools at the same time to try and perfect my writing tasks. Eventually, I stuck it out with Grammarly because of the better features and more relevant assessment tools it provided. Quillbot has started to catch up to Grammarly though but, I think it is too late for that program to become a major player in the field. There are far too many AI writing tools that have come out and continue to be released. Students do not neet to use the traditional grammar websites anymore. Both Grammarly and Quillbot need to up their game to catch up since the AI writing tools are fast becoming the norm for most of us students. Sure it works, but not as well as the AI counterparts.

re: questbridge applicants and ivy league universities

Mar 23, 2023

Why did you automatically assume that the OP was a Black hs student? Even the Whites have problems with attending college. You sound like a typical redneck. Maybe, you are a redneck rather than a low income black person? It would make sense considering your gutter mentality. Why would you want to hold back someone from improving himself and his state in life? Who gave you the power to make the person feel bad about himself and his ambitions in life? There is nothing wrong with wanting to be the first one to accomplish anything in any family, regardless of skin color or race. What matters is the ambition of the person. It is that ambition that will help him belong in the top college communities in the country. I am a colored schoarship student in an Ivy League university in the South. I have never felt out of place nor have the school and student body made me feel like I do not belong. Why? I made the grades and have proven to be an asset to the community. That is all these universities ask for and that, is something I believe the OP can provide.
