The irony in this post, which uses passive tense and has both spelling and grammatical errors.

Bless.
That was my reaction, too; however, if anyone is actually serious, get the kids to pound through the Institute for Excellence in Writing program.

There's a wide variety of pieces, including humor writing, reviews, poems, etc. My dad had a subscription lall through my childhood. It really helped me to appreciate different writing objectives. I'd say it was more helpful than most of my English classes.
This is exactly right. There's no magic to it. Kids who struggle with writing will benefit from reading more, particularly high quality writing found in publications like the New Yorker.
