[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hire people fairly frequently, and hiring people for admin type jobs out of college means they probably can't write and can't create and elaborate on ideas. The other type of people I hire are people with masters degrees in social sciences, and their writing is often stilted, wordy, and awful. So I now give intensive, in person writing tests to everyone I hire, and toss CVs based solely on the lack of that skill.[/quote] Because many teachers cannot write themselves. English is my 4th language and I do quite a bit of editing for my English native fellow teachers. Language learning somehow seems to end at the end of 5th grade, and then these elaborate projects start happening in Middle School, with little content but lots of fluff. No wonder parents are paying big bucks for privates.[/quote]
