If he just has problems reading boring books and answering ridiculously obscure questions about the plot I can't help you.

The best writers are readers. I cannot give any of my teachers, elementary through college, credit for writing education. The skill came from reading other than formatting for footnotes, etc.

That is a very myopic view of writing

So technical writers who write engineering plans learned that from reading. You realize this student is very good at math and science.

There is actually a science to writing, which you obviously never learned otherwise you would not have such an uneducated view on it.

I suspect you are and English teacher that takes offense, if so please read up on the latest methodologies for teaching writing.... Try to get outside of you left brain for a minute.

They learned to be good writers from reading a lot. The more you read, the more you know about good writing. They learned to do technical writing by taking writing classes in college and practicing.

If you aren't a good writer to begin with, you are a shit technical writer. There's a lot of shitty technical writers out there. It's actually a hard skillset to find -- many more people are good at tech or good at humanities, but not good at both.

No. It's not true. OP can just let her child be a bad writer, no worries just do STEM.

Don't you have some place else to be?
