It's the Big Things
Why It Matters
"They Don't Read Anymore!"
We Write More Than Ever
Let’s take this back to writing. Are you a business owner? Okay, so then you need a website. Who is writing your material on that website? Do you have a blog? Do you want to write a review? Are you a student? Are you applying for a job? Do you want to file a complaint? The list is endless. Writing well has never been as important as it is now. And here’s the kicker. We don’t teach it in school. Oh, we teach the basics of reading and writing. As an educator who has worked in schools for over twenty years, however, I can tell you the only writing taught in schools is either formal, like an essay, or creative, learning how to tell a story. Our education system, as it always is, is behind on the practical forms of writing, particularly short forms, the ones that dominate society.
