This style of teaching has made students passive and disengaged. We have done no more, Warner argues, than conditioned students to perform "writing-related simulations," which pass temporary muster but do little to help students develop their writing abilities.
Warner blames this on decades of educational reform rooted in standardization, assessments, and accountability. Instead, he asserts, we're teaching writing wrong.

An important challenge to what currently masquerades as conventional wisdom regarding the teaching of writing.There seems to be widespread agreement that-when it comes to the writing skills of college students-we are in the midst of a crisis.
