[Ohiogift] Refining Skills in HS

Good point. . . They need to experience true reviews of literature at an
early age and not wait until college, when they look at the professor like a
deer in headlights because they were never introduced to this type of
critical analysis. High school students also need to know about
peer-reviewed articles and not accept everything on 'Wikianything' as fact.
It's amazing how many students copy and paste from the Web without properly
citing any sources. APA must also be introduced early.

What he seemed, he was-a wholly human gentleman, the 

essential elements of whose positive character were two and 

only two, simplicity and spirituality."

We will never get our high school kids to the level of academic writing

they need to achieve if we limit them to five-paragraph essays and little

500-word "college" and personal essays.
