Rather than teachers viewing themselves as the only one who can edit pieces of writing, why not teach the kids to be good editors? After all, we want them to grow up to be good editors, right?
I was reminded of this as I was going thru some old files on my computer. I came across a picture that I took of a field trip slip that my daughter brought home one day.

I thought this was a good example of how even the experts can fail to take time for editing, especially when we are in a hurry. If we want our students to be strong academics - then we should be the role models and be sure that we don't send home things like this. If we want our students to be good at going through the writing process, we need to show evidence of having used the writing process ourselves.
