Replacement: A Possibility?
So, classrooms shouldn't be replaced by writing centers, right? But the fact is that many of our teachers today are semi-illiterate, all except for Hillory Oakes. Many ask for students to write papers, and grade them according to their taste, as opposed to actual structure and form. Students too are seldom taught in high school the basics of grammar and language. Writing in college after so many years of neglecting the rules of English, a writing center can effectively re-establish the rules of our language.
