Less is more!

I chose this article because it talks about the tutor doing too much as a fixer instead of teacher. I all too often find myself wanting to just improve the students paper instead of teaching the student how to improve it. Without teaching the student how to make their own paper better I am just rendering them because they are not learning. I definitely need to focus on doing less, especially when I am passionate about their topic as well. This reminds me of that old saying "give the village fish they will eat for a day, but teach the village how to fish and they will eat forever" something like that.
