"I have students still using sentence stems to write the most basic of paragraphs."
I'm 35 and would have been marked down in any class that i didnt write using boring as fuck sentence stems. it made me the shitty writer i am today
I feel like my early English education missed a shitload of these things because I just moved around a bunch and different schools taught at different times just in a way that I missed some foundational aspects, but like just the terminologies. Ended up just kinda learning English based on a "gut feeling" as to whether or not it sounded correct based on how much I read as a child.
Yeah, most of the guidelines and formulas for "writing" papers make the process much harder and less natural
I had something like that but more complicated sentences and I fucking hated it, they presented it as a type of journal and said to actually give our real answers, but it would assume all kinds of shit about you like I dunno "I love eating broccoli because______________________________" and it took me a long time to just say fuck it and constantly lie in there
