Death to high school English – Education – Salon.com

Sharon has published an article written by Kim Brooks: High School English Death, a short essay instructor at the University. This article is mourning the poor preparations for high school students writing papers at university.

I taught her as a person who taught engineers to technical writing for over 10 years (who took 2 college essay courses) and spent many advanced papers to read 5 drafts in the past 2 years I can do it. I am the most student I can not write

I am inclined to agree with her and I emphasize that literary criticism is the only subject of the high school English course. So far, my son's best writing training came from a junior high school teacher teaching article structure, citation of citation, topic sentences, punctuation, even even grammar. And I will make a poster. My biggest paper he wrote is his annual science fair project (about 8-10 pages, excluding figures).

For example, four years of 'high school English' can replace one year grammar, one year grammar (absolutely no literary analysis, only writing different formats for different viewers) I'm happy.
