I wonder if it would be wrong to introduce him to the idea of "sloppycopy" and final drafts to get him fluent and comfortable with freestyle writing (at home, not on the homework). Or is that a bad idea since he has great handwriting and beautiful spelling? I just thought it might take some of the pressure off him to know that sometimes it has to look good and sometimes you can just write. Not that it will change your school's inflexible policy.
CAM, u could tell the boy when they pay you as much as they pay your uncle to write computer programs you can write your papers however you want. Until then you're in school and you have to write it like they tell you.
MomT2, sorry they're making you doubt your own sanity. You know what you saw, even if it doesn't fit the program.
