I also appreciate you taking time to provide us feedback. Just to clarify, we are not a curriculum. Apangea Learning Writing is a supplement to curriculum. Our solution is a tool for teachers to use to help teach students a structured approach to writing and help them meet the specific proficiency requirements mandated by high-stakes state exams and the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. Helping to eliminate the risk of these students slipping through the cracks, our product provides school districts a cost-effective safety-net to catch these students before it is too late. Our goal is to help students succeed academically (please click on the following link http://www.apangea.com/videoHtml/kayla-highRes.html to hear first hand how we are helping to change students lives). That being said, we are always looking for ways to improve our products to better achieve our goal. I invite you to be part of this solution. Since your evaluation of Apangea Learning Writing was based exclusively on a press release and three screen shots, we would like to give you more in-depth exposure to our solution. Please contact me directly (bwallace@apangealearning.com / 412.894.9943). I would like to provide you a live demonstration of the product with our CEO and Co-Founder, Louis Piconi (I believe you are in Michigan, so this will be conducted over WebEx). Once you have viewed the product in its full capacity, Louis would welcome any constructive feedback you could offer to help improve this so that more students can benefit and achieve academic success. I look forward to hearing back from you. Yours in learning, Brian D. Wallace Dear Ms. Holmes;

In doing so it claims to allow them to dedicate their time and energy to “value-added activities.” To be honest, I don’t know exactly what that phrase means, but I have a hard time thinking of a lot of activities that are more valuable than providing feedback to students on their writing. When I read that the program’s live tutors “provide feedback within minutes,” I grew even more suspicious. How in the world can anyone provide meaningful feedback to student writing in minutes? I had to know more, so I Googled it. That’s how I came across Apangea Learning’s blog.

With all of the teenagers I've seen playing online games and posting messages on forums, it's completely believeable that 75% of high school seniors aren't proficient writers. I thought it'd actually be higher. Thanks for the information.
