4. Blog Post: I am an English teacher.
Rubrics are no way to teach writing
“Students who do not read much have no
organic sense of what constitutes quality
writing. They have no feel for literary endeavors
in general.
To help them, we must promote literacy and
reestablish a culture of reading. “
Paul Machera, high school English teacher
