This is so bloody hilarious... I had to share.
DS's teacher had the kids use on on-line system for submitting papers, which at first I thought was a nifty idea. Well now I know why. The teacher used this on-line system to perform the only critique the papers will ever see.
So my son received a computer-generated critique that managed to point out one missing comma and two spelling errors (that simply weren't in the checker's dictionary).
Passive voice? Not flagged. Nor was anything else that I know dang sure plagued that 1000 word paper. Glad he'll get to learn whether or not he provided strong theses... and properly supported with meaningful examples.
So he added the missing comma and will be resubmitting tonight to get his A. Awesome... absolutely awesome.
I'll make sure his short-list of colleges have robust remedial writing programs available.
