Here are the prompts and essays, please help me to correct some of the grammatical and spelling mistakes. If possible, please suggest how to improve.

Please explain why homeschool was chosen for this student, and explain you homeschool philosophy.

I understand that homeschool is a very special way of learning and I know this is the method for her because of the numerous reasons. First of all, while in Dubai National School, her last official school, Angela did not like the school very much since she does not find the courses academically challenging or intellectually attractive. She said that everyday at school, where she can understand and finish the lesson much faster than others, the teacher is not willing to utilize the rest of her time teaching her something new because they can only teach at the rate which the whole class can understand. The teachers also opposed when she wanted to progress Arabic subjects from grade one to grade seven. Second, I was not able to afford all of her school fees due to her father's minute child support. In China, where the document has asked the father to pay enough amount of RMB for her daily need is merely enough for her life in the UAE; and as a single mother, I was not able to earn enough money to sent her to this (one of the most expensive) school. Third, during the summer of grade seven, I asked my daughter to try homeschool herself, which she did very well in.

Please explain the grading scale or other methods of evaluation:

The methods of evaluations are generally simple. With limited amount of resource, I always tested her using the questions in the textbooks. I would pick these questions at random, and set a time limit for any examination. Then, I would also be the one to supervise her during the tests, but after the test, she is the one responsible for correcting because my English is not very good. For questions that requires an explanatory answer, I would not be able to correct. Our term grades are generally simple, 70% of the marks come from the term exam and the rest of them come from the daily quizzes and other tests.

I understand that homeschooling is a very special way of learning and I know this is the method for her for numerous reasons.

She said that every day at school, while she can understand and finish the lessons much faster than her classmates , the teacher is not willing to utilize the rest of her time teaching her something new because they can only teach at a rate in which the whole class can understand.

The teachers also opposed her when she wanted to progress in her Arabic studies from grade one to grade seven.

In China, where the law requires her father to pay enough for her RMB for her daily needs is merely enough for her life in the UAE; and as a single mother, I was not able to earn enough money to send her to this (one of the most expensive) school.

With a limited amount of resources , ...

...she is the one responsible for corrections...

Questions that required an explanatory answer, I would not be able to correct...

Great essay, and she is lucky to have such a caring and involved mother!
