Tutors writes essays for you?? (1 Viewer)

[ZaoKai]

I have heard so many people in my school saying they have tutors who just write scaffold essays for them in HSC English. From the sound of it, all they need to do is basically memorise the essay and get a band 6. Is this true or are they just bluffing and if so where can I find one?

Agreed and it's undoubtedly the hardest subject for me. I am confident that I can guarantee band 6 for all my other subjects, but for English, I am sitting around at mid-band 4 (I am legit getting higher raw assessment marks for ext 2 math than eng advanced like WTF??)

It's the fact that english adv is subjective versus every other subject being objective

Yeah unfortunately tutors write essays and people just memorise and regurgitate them

 

[eternallyboreduser]

Is it mainly selective schools doing this?

i didnt mind the regurgitation during exams much. it was the internal assignments that english tutors wrote which pissed me off. was so hard to have a high rank during internal assignments without a tutor. had to absolutely pop off in the few exams we had.

and while it probably mainly isnt exactly 'writing', the tutor likely edits so much it becomes essentially rewritten.

Yeah true. I think it's fine when the student understands their piece and uses the tutor as a crutch to improve their writing, but when someone who has no clue what the words on their page mean because someone else wrote it, and then they just blurt it out on paper without understanding it (and they still do well!) - it's just stupidly annoying.

but what can we do, oh well
