No. All the other kids in her class are typing their own essays. Why isn't she?
Which other kids would those be? She's in online school.
And, as I said to the other person, feel free to do what you want with your own kids, but I feel that when my child is writing one of the first essays she's ever written, her ability to think about it critically is, in my opinion, far more important to her education than hunting and pecking on a keyboard for hours rather than think about it.
Ohh sorry, surely your daughter is the only child enrolled at the online school.
Care to respond to the rest of my post?
I don't know how so many snarky comments are getting upvoted here. Barely an ounce of empathy to be found in this entire comment section.
It isn't hard to understand why you'd focus on the content of the essay rather than the mechanical process of typing it out. Clearly you're letting her type shorter things, so she's gonna get better over time even if you type for her on these longer essays for the moment.
Sorry you lost the essay. But I'll look on the bright side and say it sounds like you're doing a fine job working with your kid on their homework, and ideally this is just a growing pain as you use FOSS in the course of their education. I use LibreOffice too and am sometimes similarly frustrated at unintuitive or unexpected design choices.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment. And yeah, she will get better over time. This is one of the first essays she's ever had to come up with and I think the first where she's had very little in the way of detailed instruction.
