Writing is one of the fundamental skills of education.
Over the last several years, there has been tremendous emphasis on reading skills, and this is an excellent thing for our society. However, writing has not gotten the attention that reading has, and I predict that's going to change very soon. I believe people understand how closely reading and writing are intertwined, and how good writing affects all facets of their lives. In school, a student needs to be able to write for nearly every class he or she takes. In professional life, clear and concise writing is necessary for any number of jobs, and for daily communication.
