re: college admission invitation

Nov 18, 2022
If you are an ambitious student who is holding out for a dream school, and you have the qualifications for it, then ignore these pre-approved enrollment invitations. However, if you did not do well in your SAT or ACT, you do not have the grades to apply for the schools you dream of attending, and you want to avoid studying in-state, then consider these colleges and universities. These are not cons or illegitimate schools. You can actually go and see the school if you want to. They also have offices you can contact if you feel jittery about enrolling there. It will not hurt to look into these schools if you cannot enroll anywhere else but community college.

While these may not be the epitome of the best college education one can have, these educational places help with improving your grade stats. It offers you the opportunity to then try to transfer out to your target college or university. Eitherway, you will get a valid college education that will be useful to your future job search. Regardless of what people think about getting jobs these days, having a college degree is still considered an edge over the "educated by experience" applicants.

re: texas students need to retake sat due to ups accident

Nov 16, 2022
Why was UPS involved in the test paper pick up in the first place? School districts should have their own method of exam paper delivery and pick up that follows a specific security guideline to prevent these sorts of things from happening. If the exam papers flew in the care of a government courier, then fine, have the kids retake the test. Why should they be punished for the fault of a public courier firm? The students took the test honestly and with the hope that they had done well enough to make the grades they need for their future. By having them retake the test, their efforts are disregarded and the message being delivered is that the school board does not care enough about the mental stress having to retake the test will set upon the student. The accident was not their fault, they should not have to be punished for the fault of the courier service. Pass them without question and next time, use a government bonded courier so that if this happens again, the school board will have a better leg to stand on when they demand the students retake the test.

college admission invitation

Nov 16, 2022
Several of my friends and I have received invitations to enroll in colleges and universities that were not really part of our top university choices. Their requirements for enrollment are usually easily achieved, with some not even requiring an SAT or ACT score to get admitted. They just basically want us to say "Yes, we will enroll" and that is it. There is not even a need for application essays. Since I do not recognize the names of these universities and colleges, I am not sure these are valid offers. Although the universities do exist and I have searched for them online just to become familiar with them, my parents and I are worried that these are scam offers and I will find myself non-enrolled when I show up for the school term. So I am here asking for your opinions. My grades are not that good and I am sure I will not get into my first and second university choices. Maybe I stand a chance of getting into my third choice, but that is an in-state college and I really want to study out of state. These offers I have been receiving are mostly for out of state considerations. Should I look deeper into this possibility?

I do not see the need for the students to retake the test either. Consider that the only people who saw the test papers flying all over the place and gathering the same documents were not members of the evaluation / scoring committee and one will realize that there was no harm done when the papers were collated once again. Nobody could have scored the papers in public or private during the time that it took to collect the papers from the street. What is the big deal? There is no need to spend more tax dollars unnecessarily printing new test papers, paying exam proctors, and renting testing centers / public schools just to take the test again. Save my tax dollars for something more important, this is not one of those. Just check the papers and send the results to the students when it is done. I really believe that the unexpected revealing of test papers is nothing more than victimless crime being blown out of proportion at this point.

re: re: universities lied about campus available student housing

Nov 11, 2022
This is not a new problem at universities. They have been overbooking their dormitories and available student housing for decades. That is why there are students who are keen on pledging at a particular sorority or fraternity house when possible. These are the only on campus housing that do not overbook their rooms because they choose the students who cam come into their house. They also, only accept new pledges based on the number of members that graduated the previous semester / year. I know that I am one fo the few students who benefited from the sister/brotherhood housing system.

I will admit that I began as one of the overbooked residents at my university. We were 3 to a room since having 4 in the room would have resulted in a bloodbath for space. Since my parents were both "house" residents during their time at their own universities, they strongly urged me to pledge for acceptance into a house so that I would get out of the canned sardines housing situation. Needless to say, I made it through the qualifiers and eventually found myself with my own room, living among helpful students, and networking with the previous graduates who previously lived in the house themselves. I expect that this housing arrangements will have benefits for me upon my graduation. At least that is what my parents keep telling me.

I do not agree with this opinion at all. While there are potential problems with scoring for those who did very well the first time around, those who did not perform as expected, and know it, would receive a once in a lifetime do-over chance by taking the test again. I think the retake is solely a win-win situation on both sides. For those who were well prepared to take the test then, they can only score even better during their second take. Those who know they messed up the test, they have a chance to fix their already expected negative results. See? There is no problem with retaking the test. It can only result in a positive outcome for both sides. What is there to oppose then?

It is important that the students retake the test to retain their academic honesty. Their results were definitely compromised and therefore, could be suspect. By proving that they can pass the test regardless of the number of times taken, the student will build his sense of dignity and understand the importance of academic honesty going forward.

re: ai writing software: the solution to academic and independent writer hiring problems?

Nov 8, 2022
I was on the fence about purchasing these writing AI apps for my daughter at first. She is in the last stages of grammar school and will be entering high school soon enough. While she performs well in her STEM subjects, she struggles to write anything for her English classwork. She has never been a very verbal person and even struggles to speak to classmates or close relatives.It is a shyness that translated into problems for her when it came to putting her thoughts down on paper. I really thought that I would have to place an academic writer on retainer for her at one point because she was struggling to write even a simple "What I Did During the Summer" paper. Then her English teacher suggested that I try using the app to help her cope with her writing problem during a parent-teacher conference. I tried the free versions at first. I wanted to see if it would actually be possible to help my child without human intervention. Turns out, IT IS POSSIBLE ! Not only was she finally able to come up with good foundational papers for her to add her own thoughts to for personal essays, but she also used it well when working on her STEM research projects. Seeing her enthusiasm grow for writing and the improvement in her English grades because of the AI writing assisten was enough to sell me on the product. I do not doubt that she will be using this and its updated versions well into her college years, where she will be needing the help the most.

texas students need to retake sat due to ups accident

Nov 6, 2022
So, a UPS truck had an accident that caused the exam papers of students from El Paso, Texas to be strewn all over the street and then retrieved by examiners. The 55 test sheets will now need to trashed and the students who took the test on 27 October have to retake the test. I find this very unfair. It was not their fault their exam sheets and responses were compromised by an irresponsible UPS driver. Why do they need to retake the test? The College Board better not ask them to retake the test because the students took the exams honestly. Punish the UPS driver by firing him from his job instead. The same exam, taken twice by the same student, will not have the same results. The 2nd take results could very well affect their abilities to gain acceptance into their first choice university. I believe that the college board should pass all 55 students whose test results were affected for just cause. Do not make them sit through the same emotional rollercoaster again because some driver could not close the door to his van properly.

re: blood oath to get into princeton? (satire)

Nov 6, 2022
The Princetonian is a well known satirical newspaper of the university. Their students know not to take anything they say seriously since these articles are only meant to give them a breather from the demanding academic life. It carries crazy articles that only those already familiar with the newspaper will know are meant for comedy and nothing more.

The foreign students that start as freshmen at Princeton tend to take the newspaper seriously and get caught up in the obviously fake news. They need to be led by hand by the more senior students to understand that the newspaper is humorous and nothing more. Sometimes the foreign freshmen actually get scared by the Halloween publications but the experienced students know how to quiet down their nerves. Usually by getting them used to the idea of a satirical newspaper before Halloween comes around.

If you thought this was a riot, wait till they come out with their holiday publication. That has some really LOL and ROFL stories about Santa and how Christmas is spent at Princeton.

blood oath to get into princeton? (satire)

Nov 5, 2022
Okay, I actually thought this was a legitimate news post from The Daily Princetonian then I got to thinking, this cannot be right. I scanned the article again and finally came across the disclaimer: The following content is purely satirical and entirely fictional.

Show of hands with regards to people who know that there will be several silly college applicants out there who will read this article and actually Fedex their own blood over to Princeton. Exactly. While people with a working brain will see this for the satire that it is, there will be people bordering on imbecilic who may just try to get admitted to the university using this method.

I realize that the paper is satirical in slant but their academic supervisors and advisers should draw the line when the comedy crosses the line into asking the applicants to perform self harm to get immediate admission into the university. I mean, just don't. There are some potential students desperate enough to try anything to get into the university, including self harm.

To protect the students hoping to apply and be admitted, I will not post a link to the article. However, just in case they come across the article somewhere on the web, please note that it is categorized under HUMOR with the unbelievable title of "Princeton introduces new admissions category beyond early admission: blood oath" This is a fake article. Do not perform self harm. The university does not want your blood ! It is a Halloween prank and nothing more !

re: act 2022 results indicate lack of college preparedness

Nov 4, 2022
I guess I am a new age parent as well. I found myself unbothered by the results of my son's ACT scores. I have long been conscious of the fact that he was never meant to excel academically, but that he had potential in another profession. He has always been a good amateur cook who would rather be buried in cook books and culinary history reads rather than any STEM or whatever subject. He always managed to make extra money for himself during the summer months by running a small baking business out of the house, he catered a child's birthday party here and there during the schoolyear, he even hosted my recent birthday celebration. Hence my lack of worry about his financial future, which is what most low scoring ACT parents worry about. Since he will not be going to a regular university but a trade school instead, we both do not have to worry about accumulating student loan debt. Between his savings and mine, he will have enough to start his own business when he completes his training. So go ahead, think the worst of kids who do not perform well in the ACT tests. Waste your time with that rather than helping him find his actual financial niche in the world.

re: ai writing software: the solution to academic and independent writer hiring problems?

Oct 31, 2022
I would have to agree with my co-educator in this last post. I too have seen an improvement in the way that my high school class writers their papers through the use of the writing software. They seem to have also gained an interest in learning how to properly write their papers because the software makes the task seem more like a game to them rather than an assignment or school chore. I have more than once been asked by a student if I thought he could do better with is paper next time. When I ask if he uses an AI, he at first refuses to respond due to thoughts of academic dishonesty. When I assure him that AI written papers are not covered by code since he basically wrote the paper himself, he admits to using it and from there, I begin to encourage him to better his writing skills.

The program may have lessened the use of academic writing mills on the part of the student. That can only be good for the student but definitely bad for the shadowy freelancing and academic company writers. Less income for them right?

The program helps them learn a valuable skill going into their advanced educational years. It also encourages them to do better research into their paper because they want to fit in perfectly with the AI results. Their focus seems to be on properly citing their sources though and that is something that I will have to change in the future. My hope is that eventually, I will be able to entice them to try and write the paper themselves, without the AI. I am confident that they can produce an acceptable paper on their own due to the correct model essays they get out of the software.

re: act 2022 results indicate lack of college preparedness

Oct 31, 2022
Our educational system slowly sank into the cesspool of third world education over the past decades. Our politicians were not really paying attention to the lack of teacher abilities or learning shortcomings from the students. The results of the SAT and ACT tests come as no surprise to me. Nobody has paid attention the the performance of our children in these tests for a long time. This is our publicly funded school system at is finest. The children cannot even write in cursive anymore these days, which used to be one of the most basic lessons taught in school. It is precisely because of the lack of proper educational focus in public schools that I took my kid out and home schooled him instead. Granted I still hire a tutor to help him with his modules and he still learns the same curriculum as everyone else, with some exceptions, but I feel like my little ones have performed better than their public school counterparts at every turn. With every assessment test they take, their results are similar to privately educated students. So there is a problem with the educational system, but only the tax supported ones. Parents with students in public schools should be up in arms about these results.

The previous parent has not consider the real meaning of these assessment tests. These are here to help us understand and measure the intellectual growth, or lack thereof, of the student.

As parents we learn how well our children studied during the year or, what aspects of their education needs further help. It tells the school board if the teachers are worth the salary that our tax dollars pay them. There was a thread here before that discussed how the system employees ESL teachers to cut on costs. This should also be seen as one of the reasons why our children perform lower than expected. What can they learn from non American teachers right?

This and other tests tell us what we already know but refused to accept. Our education system is in a rut and our children are the victims. Rather than trying to lay blame, stop complaining and whining. Think of how we can fix the problem without the help of the useless board of educators.

Why does it matter what score our children achieve in the ACT or SAT? Okay, so these are the benchmarks by which they will be assessed for college preparedness. Low scores mean they may not even get into college. Does that mean the end of the world for the students? Absolutely not. It just means that technical and vocational schools will be a more viable option for them.

I mean observe your children. Notice how their scores show they may not be good in learning theory? Then compare that to the scores they get in Shop, Home Ec (for schools that have it), or PE. Exactly. These kids, they all excel in different fields. As the parents, our job is to make sure that we identify what they are good at and encourage these skills for their future needs.

I would be proud of my car mechanic son just as I would be if he became a doctor. I would encourage my daughter who wants to open a pop up restaurant in the same way that I would support my Financial Analysit daughter who dreams of a Wall Street career.

The ACT scores do not doom them to a life of hardship. It could very well be the other way around. Do not be so quick to judge your own blood since, you are judging yourself as a parent in the process.

Being an educator who has caught students using plagiarized papers or papers coming from writing mills, I have to say that the emergence of these AI writing software has been helpful to my students in terms of writing their papers. I know, it creates "word salad" most of the time for the students, who, if not advised to correct these empty sentences, would submit it as is. However, I want them to learn what makes a research paper bad or good. So I appreciate the word salad very much. It encourages the student to read the paper and fix it before submitting it to me.

Truth be told, I have encouraged my students to use writing software whenever possible, specially when they feel stuck when writing a paper. Sometimes all they need is a form of encouragement or support, a point in the right direction. All of which an AI writing software can provide. I can identify when a writing software was used for the assignment. Yet, I do not mark down the student for it because he obviously made an effort to fix most of the paper to meet my requirements. He did not pay someone else to write his paper for him and that, is something I will always reward with a passing grade.

re: universities lied about campus available student housing

Oct 26, 2022
Some people may find this funny but I chose to experience the vanlife for my college years. Well, technically, it isn't a refurbished / renovated van but actually a small RV that my parents are helping me pay for as my "first house". I figure that it would help me own my "first house" as a college student and now, seeing how housing has become a problem for my classmates and other schoolmates, I cannot help but feel that I made the right decision.

My parents were willing to help me pay for an off campus apartment anyway so living in an RV and an RV community was not something they were going to be against. In fact, they feel safer that I am living in an RV community near the campus rather than in an apartment. The security in and out of the compound is far stricter than those in regular guarded and secured apartment buildings. I find that living in this open community of young and old alike has given me a better and more rounded college experience so far.

Colleges and universities should be more upfront about the available living spaces next semester. They should have better booking control and realize that when they "misbook" any sort of quarters, they are truly lying to the student who needs a quiet place to study and rest after attending gruelling classes all day. I hope students do not trust the student housing services so quickly next semester.

re: ai writing software: the solution to academic and independent writer hiring problems?

Oct 25, 2022
The previous post was obviously written by an academic writer whose line of income has been affected by the emergence of writing software. Students and parents alike are satisfied with the writing software not only because of the financial savings, but because it eliminates the need to constantly request for revisions. Why? Precisely because of the "word salad" that the AI creates. The student is conscious that the paper is not perfect, then again, what sort of paper written by a computer would be right? They make allowances for the software shortcomings and fill in the gaps. The result? Better scoring papers that professors do not suspect of being plagiarized or cut and paste from other sources. The system allows the student to create a personalized paper that is free from possible suspicions once submitted for a grade. Precisely because the paper is an original. The student does not waste time trying to guide the incompetent academic writer from a 3rd world nation towards simply completing (but not creating a perfect paper) the task for the student. If the student has to waste that much time with revisions, then he should not be paying major bucks for the paper. Since he had to teach the writer how to write the paper in the first place.

Students and parents who have unshakeable faith in these writing softwares cannot tell the difference between a real paper written by an actual person and word salad. Yes, word salad. Word salad is what an AI software produces. It has contents that might relate to the work that the person needs, but deeper reading will prove that it is empty and devoid of any actual substance.

It just contains sentences that go around in circles based upon the keywords that the student inputs into the program. It sounds intelligent, well written, but not properly researched. So the student still has to clean up the paper and put it into a usable form. Why would I pay such an amount for an AI that does not deliver in the same way that an actual academic writer would? That does not make sense. Does it really teach the student to write the paper? Or does it just seem that way?

An AI is incapable of learning, a human writer learns and definitely can adjust the content of the paper as the student needs it to be. I would rethink purchasing a writing software AI if I were a parent being asked to buy it by my kid. I would not waste my money that way.

re: universities lied about campus available student housing

Oct 24, 2022
I was a victim of the over booking in the campus apartments and dormitories too. This semester I have had to stay with some classmates at a local inn where we can book a room for 3 months at a time. It is not ideal since we thought and were prepared to stay at our usual university assigned housing, where we would have a student apartment and several rooms rather than a compressed sleeping space. Our apartment was "accidentally" reassigned even as we paid in advance for the booking. No, it was actually double booked for some reason and since we arrived later than expected the new students got the place instead. We are now on hold waiting for a new apartment to be assigned. In the meantime, the university has agreed to pay our monthly room rental and other expenses amounting to the monthly rent and meal allowances of the school apartment while we wait. At least the rent is the least of our problems. We still do not like this set up though. The apartment we paid for on campus had 4 rooms for 8 people. We are renting 1 room for 8 people. Yes, it is a nightmare to even have to commute to the school from our location but there is nothing we can do about it.

re: parents forcing their children to become repeaters

Oct 23, 2022
I will be one of the first to admit that I was dismayed to see the results of my son for the first post pandemic academic year. He was formerly a stellar honor and award winning student who seemed to struggle to learn upon his return to the classroom. He had a shorter attention span, did not really seem interested in attending classes, and basically, became lazy with regards to learning when he returned to school. This was not the son that I was familiar of and very proud of. So I asked him what the problem was. He said he needed academic help. While I also thought of asking him to repeat the grade to help him get a study "tune-up", I knew that insulting his intelligence was not the answer to the problem.

Instead, I suggested that he spend the summer preparing for his next academic year by attending learning programs online and in person. I threw in some fun sports activities into the mix as he was interested in. There was nothing wrong with this type of learning encouragement. He would be learning the classes in advance, which would be more helpful to him since it would combine his previous and future lessons. The merger would allow him to review his previous problem learning points, while integrating it into his future lessons. He would be enhancing his auditory and motor functions through sports that he enjoyed, so he would get better PE grades the next year. I found that this method was just what my son needed to get back to his usual academic excellence / standards. More fun studies and sports activities over the summer allowed him to get back to pole position in school.

What am I driving at? Repeating a grade does not help the student. If you want to help your kid, then help him by finding a way to learn better and more efficiently.

re: act 2022 results indicate lack of college preparedness

Oct 21, 2022
I do not really understand why a parent would think that a child's performance in the test is not of concern in regards to his college preparedness. The point of this test is to allow the student to better assess his ability to complete proper academic study in his field of interest to help him perform professionally on the job. Yes, I find the dismal performance of the high school students this year quite concerning because it means my child needs to take a gap year before attending college. That means an extra expense for me because my agreement with him is that if he fails to get the target grades for his course, then he will take a gap year by attending community college and taking some courses to help him better prepare for college. Which is a financial waste of a semester or a year as far as I am concerned. He barely met the target grade for his course and I am now considereding holding him back from regular enrollment because his current scores and grades will not get him into his 1st university choice. He knows he is not suited for his first choice university and is willing to settle for his second choice, if he manages to get accepted. What do you guys think? Should I pay for community college or let him settle for his second choice since he feels it is better than taking a gap year the way we discussed it?

universities lied about campus available student housing

Oct 19, 2022
I am one of the college freshmen this semester who thought I would be living an ideal college dorm life. My parents proudly paid for my dorm room for the full semester so I would not need to worry about anything but my studies. Little did we know that I would be living in a dorm room hell instead.

A room that was supposed to be good for 2 was actually a room for 4. Since I checked in late, I ended upon a floor mattress in the room along with another student. I lucked out in the sense that my parents did not drop me off, I love myself. I doubt I would have been allowed to stay in the dorm if they saw the overcrowded set-up. Now I realize I should have taken up their offer to rent an apartment for me. Now I live in a sardine can instead. At least we are all fully vaccinated against Covid.

Now, I found out that I am not the only one duped by a university. I saw an article and a YT video depicting homelessness among college students. At least I am not sleeping in my car at a Walmart parking lot. Should I consider myself lucky then?

re: parents forcing their children to become repeaters

Oct 17, 2022
Parents asking the school to make their children repeat a grade refuse to accept their failure as parents. That they neglected to completely guide their children's learning during and after the pandemic. They knew that the learning field had already changed and their children were struggling during that time. Rather than getting them the help they needed to transition properly to the new learning ways, they let their own children flounder. Now, they children are barely surviving in the educational system and they have decided that they would like to see their children struggle to survive rather than throwing them a life preserve. Having them repeat a grade is not helping them. That is insulting their intelligence and telling them " You failed me as my child and as a student. I am ashamed of you." That is not the right message to give any child at any learning level. These parents should be ashamed of themselves. They are making their children suffer for their parental shortcomings.

re: act 2022 results indicate lack of college preparedness

College assessment tests only look at the theoretical preparedness of a high schooler to attend college or university. It does not comprise the overall learning results for the student. We have to remember that these tests are considered along with the extra curricular activities, community participation, and subject interests pursuits of the potential college student. It is not based on high school academic theories alone. I am not going to panic about the results of the ACT exams this year because the article that this comment was based on did not consider the other assessment points for potential college students. We also have to remember that America has one of the worst educational system in the world these days so the results of academic theory testing should come as no surprise to any high schooler parent. If we do not take the initiative to enroll our kids in after school learning activities, our children will barely learn anything and most likely, not be prepared for college at all.

re: ai writing software: the solution to academic and independent writer hiring problems?

Oct 15, 2022
The AI writing software is actually a Godsend in my opinion. I have definitely never seen my kids so interested in completing their research work, opinion essays, and any other sort of writing assignment for school. As we all know, our kids will be interested in doing any sort of physical activity, but not any writing activities.

That is why these academic freelancers and writing companies manage to fleece our kids out of their allowances and the parents, out of their hard earned salaries, even though neither of them actually peform as expected. The kids are excited by the idea of an app that gets half the homework done, with them only needing to tweak or improve the content to better suit the class it will be used for.

Gone are the revision headaches that these writers and companies endlessly cause. No more missed deadlines, no misinterpreted writing instructions, no more problems that come with hiring writing services. Just none. The kids think of writing their papers like a game now. What they do not realize is that they are actually learning academic honesty and developing a much needed professional skill for future use.

I do believe that the scam writing companies and freelancers that misrepresent their actual writing skills and academic training have their days numbered. The students now have a legitimate recourse for their writing needs. One that they can actually submit for a grade without worrying about the potential for academic dishonesty charges being used against them as blackmail in the future.

act 2022 results indicate lack of college preparedness

Oct 13, 2022
So, the college preparedness of our high school graduates this year appears to be the most pathetic of all the generations that have taken the ACT tests. None of them managed to meet the benchmark scores for STEM, English, and other subjects. What does this mean? Have our children been turned stupid by the pandemic? Or are we panicking over nothing? Are they just adjusting to the new learning methods? I find this result worrisome since my own children will be taking the SAT and ACT in the coming years. I would hate to find out that I failed them as a parent because I did not focus on their home schooling during the lockdown.

Yes, I do not lay blame with the educational system in this case. I failed my children as a parent because I did not increase their educational exposure when I needed to because I did not understand what was going on. With the disappointing results of the ACT scores this year, I hope parents rethink sending their children off to college too soon.

I hope they take a proper gap year to help them better prepare academically for college. Not by having them repeat a grade or anything, but by increasing their college learning abilities through preparatory college course. I would say, have them study short term courses online for their possible majors or attend community college first, taking a few prep courses before moving them on to the colleges or universities. Eitherway, the ACT gives the parents a chance to fix what is wrong with their children's college preparedness.

re: parents forcing their children to become repeaters

Oct 12, 2022
Parents have to accept that times have changed since the pandemic. We used to focus on achievements for our children because we took pride in his academic accomplishments. It was something we could brag about to our family, friends, and anybody who would listen to us. That is no longer relevant in today's times. Our children have gotten used a new way of learning over the years, only to be thrust back into the classroom just as they were adjusting to the hybrid learning system. The result? Confused students who need to relearn what it is like and what it means to learn in a classroom setting. Sure there will be grades affected and academic accomplishments no longer met. Cut them some slack. They are doing the best that they can in an academic world the government decided to mess up. It is not that our children forgot how to learn, it is that they have having to adjust to the new learning system. There is no such thing as going back to the Old Normal. It is the New Normal all the way, and that includes academic achievements, As long as the grades brought home are decent, that tells me my kid is learning and finding his way in the new academic world. That is good enough for me.

re: ai writing software: the solution to academic and independent writer hiring problems?

Oct 10, 2022
Hey, I am thrilled to learn of a fellow parent considering purchasing AI writing software for their student kid. Let me tell you, I purchased the software / membership for my son and I could not be happier with the results. The AI has actually encouraged him to start writing his own papers. At first he was only enthused by finding the sources for the research and opinion papers he was feeding into the program. He found it entertaining that he could just type in a few keywords or post the citation for the research (per paragraph) and he would get a complete essay by the end of it.

We would often review the content of the AI developed paper and have a good laugh at it. Sure there are times when the AI seems to be just writing empty paragraphs but then, I found that my son often caught on to these sections and took the initiative to give the paragraphs more meaning. The result? He has never had better grades for his written work ! To top it off, I no longer had to keep giving him my credit card number to use for paying these revision riddled papers from unreliable writing companies and freelance writers.

I say give it a try. You have more to lose by continuing to hire these ESL writing companies and writers that constantly lie about their actual writing credentials, leading to non-submitted papers or missed deadlines. Let me know how it works out for you.

re: pronoun usage in classrooms and in essays

Oct 7, 2022
It was my personal choice to adjust my pronoun usage in all of the papers that I write for my classes. That is because transgender students exist in my school and they prefer to be addressed in a certain way. Since my school does not recognize their freedom to choose their gender reference, it often causes problems in class assignments, opinion papers, and research presentations. My best friend is even a transgender person so I understand how painful it is for them to not be addressed by the pronoun of their choice. It was through him that I learned how they are offended when addressed by a pronoun not of their choosing, but they have no problem with simply not having any gender reference at all in discussions or papers that we write for class. It was my decision to stop using pronouns when writing my papers and I have to say, I did have a bit of a tough time adjusting to the non-gender reference papers but I did get used to doing it. Now, I no longer have to make that conscious effort. It is second nature to me not to use pronouns anymore in my presentations. My teachers have no problem with my writing style and I am sure that my classmates do not have a problem with it either. It just takes some getting used to but, once it becomes the norm, it will definitely bring a lot of peace to the classrooms.
