[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s not even writing. That’s grammar. I’m a high school teacher. I do teach writing. The problem is the massive focus on STEM means many parents and kids don’t see the value in teaching writing as a craft. They think “my kid knows how to read and write” and encourage all effort goes into math and science classes . Kids toss off a crappy draft and want to be done. [/quote] I work in STEM. Writing skills are still required, including the basics. The book “The Math Myth” does an excellent job explaining why the STEM focus does a disservice to every area of learning.[/quote] Yep, I try telling them that. It falls on deaf ears. [/quote]
