editing has always been an important step in the writing process. it is the time where the writer takes a look at her raw work and decides what needs to be altered and what is acceptable. now that spellcheck is so popular and all-knowing, people have lost their capacity to manually edit anything they write or type. they expect an artificial brain to look over their shoulder and let them know what is right and wrong. unfortunately, if the problem is with the style or usage, generally the writing is deemed accurate and ready to be mass produced.

the same holds true for behavior. as a second grade teacher, i am constantly reminded that these children have grown up in such a different environment that i did, that behavior "editing" has become obsolete. parents expect their surrogate brain, the teachers, to filter t any misstep the child has made and correct the problem in a flash; delete this and insert that. however, most times the problem is not recognized by our programming, and the issue seems to be more so related to the structure of the parent's own behavior, causing the child to be constantly copying from a flawed template.

THEREFORE, i would start a charity to begin the seemingly impossible process of editing people. they would come to me, unsure of "how to be" and i would gladly sit them down and erase improper structuring and try to beef up what little raw material they have to work with, with the hopes of creating a fresh template from which copying would be welcome and recommended.
