Capstone essay help sought

I need help with writing an essay about why teachers have sexual relations with their students. Also I need help writing an outline for it. Linda responds:
You omitted several important bits of information I really need to know in order to provide you with good essay help:


  • Your academic level.

  • The course or subject your assignment is for.

  • The assignment your instructor gave.

  • What you've already done on the assignment.

I'll assume you have to write a standard thesis and support essay. I'll also assume you've done no more work on your assignment than you did preparing your question, which is none.

The essay writing process is very straightforward.

1. Build a working thesis statement. The way to do that is to add an assertion to your topic.

Your topic is teachers having sexual relations with students. Add assertions to the topic so that you build a series of potential working thesis statements.

Write as many working thesis statements using the thesis builder as you can in 10 minutes. Aim for at least 1 working thesis a minute. This activity gets your mind focused on what you know or can guess might be true about your topic. Here are some thesis statements I whipped out:

  • Teachers should never have sexual relationships with students in their school.

  • Teachers' should analyze assignments to see if they promote inappropriate student behaviors.

  • Public school teachers convicted of felony charges stemming from a sexual relationship with students should forfeit their pension benefits.

2. When you have at least 10 potential working thesis statements,eliminate those that are ridiculous and those that are simply statements of fact that everyone agrees on.

What you have left should be statements that might be developed into a good thesis statement for an essay or research paper.

3. The next step is to pick the best of your potential thesis statements and prepare a writing skeleton™ from it. Again, that's a process you do by following a formula. You put your potential thesis down, follow it with the word because, and then add a reason that completes the sentence.

Here is an example of one writing skeleton™ point based on one of those sample working thesis statements:

Teachers should analyze assignments to see if they promote inappropriate student behaviors because teachers have a professional obligation to do no harm.

If you are going to write a reasonably decent essay, you will need a minimum of three good reasons. If you cannot come up with three reasons now, you have little chance of making that working thesis statement into a decent essay. The three writing skeleton™ points are insurance against one of them turning out to be a dud.

Once you have a working thesis and a writing skeleton™ with at least three good non-overlapping points, you have the foundation of an essay. Each writing skeleton™ point is one of the Roman numeral points of your outline.

I put capital letters at the start of your sentences and periods instead of commas at the end of the sentences so your submission doesn't look too silly.

I cannot do anything about the problem in your submission that really bothered me. Calling yourself sexy{yourname} is a very stupid thing to do. It not only shows you are immature, reckless, and irresponsible, but also shows you don't have anyone looking out for you with sense enough to tell you how to behave online. Predators are trolling for dumb kids like you. You need to brighten up.
