Traditional Marking Falls Short In Schools (And Often In Tuition, Too!)
In traditional classrooms, marking your child’s writing assignments often falls short in several crucial ways:
- Missing Mistakes: Teachers, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of assignments, sometimes miss spelling mistakes, structural errors, or critical nuances.
- Superficial Feedback: A mere tick or an underline of a misspelt word rarely provides the in-depth feedback needed for improvement.
- Limited Time: Class teachers, grappling with packed schedules, rarely have the time to go through assignments in detail with each student.
What This Poor Approach Probably Means for Your Child
These limitations in traditional creative writing marking methods can have a significant impact on your child’s writing journey:
- Missed Learning Opportunities: Spelling errors and structural issues go unaddressed, leading to missed learning opportunities.
- Frustration and Confusion: Superficial feedback can leave your child frustrated and confused, unable to grasp the nuances of their mistakes.
- Stagnation: With limited teacher interaction, your child’s writing skills may stagnate, hindering their academic progress.
A Transformative Approach For Your Child’s Writing
Our courses offer a transformative approach to these common issues:
- Thorough Video Marking: Our unique video marking and feedback process ensures that no mistake goes unnoticed. Every error, every nuance, is addressed with care.
