What about Writing?

"And first, what motive for writing well can the student be made to feel?

"There is only one valid motive: the desire to be read."

-Jacques Barzun

"Don't permit the student to attempt to write about something that doesn't interest her. This is a dead end of frustration and bad habits.

"Be in tune with the student's passions and interests, fears and dreams, and encourage and direct her to record them in prose.

"The passion to be understood is almost universal and the student who sees herself growing in effectiveness while expressing herself will likely do so more frequently and with greater skill."

~Oliver DeMille, A Thomas Jefferson Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-first Century, p. 79
