I think you handled the situation well. It is very hard sometimes to step back when students make problematic choices.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072662623337580432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-34201938811738020502011-05-24T18:55:40.474-06:002011-05-24T18:55:40.474-06:00This might be a time that some peer editing would ...This might be a time that some peer editing would really help her.
