Writing Wrongs.
Jones, Rebecca
Executive Educator, v17 n4 p18-24 Apr 1995
Researchers gave low ratings to 73% of fourth-graders' informative writing samples on NAEP's 1992 Writing Portfolio Study. Teachers blame changing demographics, science and math emphases, the self-esteem movement, standardized tests, and fast-paced lifestyles. Administrators must encourage student writing, support teachers, schedule more language arts classes, and provide student publishing opportunities. (MLH)
