Sample essay

Should Schools Limit Phone Use During the Day?

Write an argumentative essay that takes a position on whether schools should restrict student phone use during instructional time.

Phones can distract students, but a total ban ignores how modern classrooms work. A better policy would limit personal use during lessons while allowing teacher-approved research, accessibility tools, and emergency communication.

Illustrative output example

Overall score: 8 / 10

The essay presents a clear position and considers a practical middle ground. The next revision should strengthen evidence, clarify the counterargument, and tighten transitions between policy examples.

This synthetic example demonstrates the report format. It is not a validation result or a substitute for teacher judgment.

Strengths

Clear thesis with a balanced position
Relevant classroom examples that connect to the prompt
Consistent paragraph structure and readable organization

Improvements

Add more specific evidence or data to support the policy recommendation
Address the strongest objection to limited phone access
Make the conclusion more actionable for school administrators
