Earlier in this thread, it was mentioned that money often better spent on essays. Any thoughts/suggestions on where to get assistance in teaching the kids to improve their writing skills? Son is in eighth grade so we have plenty of time…It would be nice to find an online resource that would give him a prompt and then give detailed feedback on his essay.
We heard positive things about a local English teacher and have tried to contact her for lessons but she does not seem interested. We were looking into an online course that had great reviews but given their lesson time, it is only for children that are home-schooled.
