[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am actually impressed with my MCPS daughter’s writing skills. I edit writing of adults, including lawyers, in the working world. My senior writes better than most that I see professionally. I don’t know when her writing became so polished. But it is 100% due to MCPS. [/quote]
DP. We’re all humanities-oriented in our household. My neurodivergent dc doesn’t have strong punctuation skills, but is a solid writer and is skilled at engaging the reader. My neurotypical child is an excellent writer, but in fairness, that dc has attended a humanities magnet in middle school and high school and has had more robust writing assignments. I’ve been surprised by the number of writing assignments and their level of difficulty in upper level world language classes as well.

I’ve known people who were voracious readers, but middling as writers. Reading and writing are taught as though they’re two sides of the same coin, but writing involves a different skill set. The vast majority of adults can read at a far higher level than they can write.[/quote]
