Why We Read and Write.
DeMott, Benjamin
Educational Leadership, v47 n6 p6 Mar 1990
Were it not for readers and writers, the ideas of truth and openness might have disappeared behind the Iron Curtain forever. We read and write, not to ensure employers of a competent work force, but to know each other's responses, to connect ourselves more fully with the human world, and to strengthen the truth-telling habit among us.
