This is for everybody that's spent more time on the two hundred word conclusion paragraph of a paper than on the rest of the paper itself. For people that hear "conclusion" and cringe, because you know that the teacher has something specific in mind besides "just" re-iterating your past points, but you never have any idea what that something is. For people that have taken to submitting little anecdotes instead of conclusions because they make more sense, anyway.
This, my friends, is for you.

 >> Only the blackest of hearts-shudders- I despise conclusions, if I ever lose points on an essay, that is where I lose them... I never will know what they expect - especially certain teachers (such as my AP teacher)... my English teacher this year is a complete hippy and doesn't care what I write, as long as I express my feelings, so I've never done bad on her essays no matter what my conclusion said - but some teachers hate my conclusions... our Chemistry teacher makes us write a conclusion to our labs... but we never write an essay on it, just the conclusion paragraph.

Those Chem conclusions were torture. She never tells us exactly what to include in the conclusion, but expects us to know anyway. I assume I did fine on them, as she expressed no real problem, though I never got to see any comments she may have made on them and probably never will.
For the most part, I'm good with conclusions, just because I'm good at all aspects of essay writing, but the conclusions always take me longer to come up with than everything else. It might also be because I'm better at it when compared to the others...
I don't really do essays much now, though. Homeschool; I already know how to write great essays, even about subjects I am barely knowledgable on, so I don't really have to practice them. If I understand a topic enough, I can easily write an essay on it, and thus, see no point in giving myself hours of homework (hours, of course, referring to any homework in general). In all technicalities, homework is the same as classwork, except that you do it at home, which essentially makes it the exact same thing as my classwork. Once my amount of time per week for each subject is over, then I'm done, unless it's something I really enjoy, like English.

>> Only the blackest of heartsYeah - it takes me 10 minutes to write 10 pages when I am typing - so I really don't care no matter what the topic is because of that fact. The only thing I have problems with in the conclusion zone is trying to figure out what to say outside of another summary along with the point you were proving in the essay - because some teachers want more then that.
