Directions:
For your writing sample, please read the background information in the box below and follow the directions below.

Background information for “Modern Parents Writing Sample”
              In a recent editorial essay, Johnson, a working mother of four, laments being made to feel guilty for not “being there” every minute for her children.  She notes, “The school nurse has taken me to task for not being immediately accessible, and my kids–who live in a world where instant gratification has become the norm–complain about my intermittent unreachability.  To which I say, Hey, deal with it!  I’m not cavalier about my mothering responsibilities….  I’m an involved parent.  We modern moms and dads are not only expected to make sure our kids are perfectly nourished, endlessly enriched, and absolutely safe at all times:  now, with cell phones and pagers, we are also supposed to be instantly reachable and immediately responsive….  We cannot and should not orchestrate every moment in our children’s lives for them–partly because the effort turns out to be futile, but more importantly because it prevents our kids from learning skills they need to succeed in the real world.  There are times they need to ad lib.  There are times they need to wait.  There are even times they need to turn to someone else.”

Writing Task:
Please write an essay in which you (1) explain Johnson’s argument and (2) discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with her views.  Support your position by referring to the passage and by providing reasons and examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
