[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved the Little Red Schoolhouse writing program at the University of Chicago. I still use techniques I learned there. [b]I would also say that I don't think strong writing is a particularly sought-after or valued skill in the work world[/b]. [/quote] DP. What "work world" do you mean, PP? My husband is a manager of IT code jockeys and wishes they could write better; they have clients who need to understand what they're doing and guess what--that gets done via e-mail and other written work. He would leap to hire a coder who was a strong, clear writer. Your statement is pretty grossly generalized. The ability to write clearly and effectively is important in pretty much every field, even if that means writing reports or e-mails and not lengthy dissertations. [/quote]
