    Yes I read it, and what I am saying is that modern day users don’t need to be able to write bullshit because of all the advances in technology.

    Give purposeful assignment instead. You still get people to write and they learn something as well. 2 birds with 1 stone.

    It is like forcing students to come to school using a steam train because they will know how to keep a steam engine working so it makes them better at shoveling.

      The ability to construct a logical argument is useful not just for communicating with others, but also for structuring your own thoughts.

        It’s also useful for learning. Turns out writing stuff down makes stuff go into your memory better.
