CNN.com - Student writing samples show lack of skill - Apr. 25, 2003

One of my favorite classes from high school was Dr. Maddox's HARP (high achievers realizing potential - c'mon, what's up with the acronym?!?). He taught us how to write (readers here might disagree), and he taught us to enjoy the language, use the right words (I still hate to here "utilize" instead of just "use"), and to appreciate good writing when we see it. Shame that it's falling away in our school systems today...
