I find it interesting that a nine year old can tell when a story ends ubruptly but a college student can’t.
Should the students have been writing a paper that’s “deeper” in meaning than a second grade reading level?
As a non-traditional college graduate, I have differing opinions. On one hand, I think the students would like the comments in that it shows them how their writing translates to the reader (maybe use this as a lesson without sharing the fact that your daughter read their work – a “what if” scenario). However, if that were one of my papers, I would feel that my teacher was unprofessional in passing my paper around to others to read.
That’s a tough call, but I don’t think you should let your students know your daughter read their work.

Perhaps it’s just a sign put up by one very arrogant teacher.

They have to do that to cool it down and keep the dust down. Our turf actually has an irrigation system that runs underneath the surface.

I’m telling you; if I had to take a math test to be an English teacher, the world would be short an instructor right now. My sixth grader is coming home with stuff I don’t remember how to do. Seriously; I jettisoned those brain cells after I passed the (required) classes by the proverbial skin of the teeth.
I’m not as bad as I claim to be – I really CAN figure tips and sale prices – but I will freely admit that I couldn’t have solved for X.
