Great article

I thought so. Wouldn't want to be teaching English today, that's for sure, especially in high school.

I teach middle schoolers and high schoolers and it's true that far too many of them treat a writing assignment as if they're texting. It's shocking, really, what I see turned in as a final copy.

Perhaps they were sleeping or texting when you handed the assignment out.

BTW, the local high school where I occasionally lecture (and in which my YA novel is part of the curriculum) now teaches creative writing using photographic prompts...the kind of stuff I use in my flash fiction anthologies.
