Delivering on the Promise by Josh Kowitt

I'm an adjunct faculty at a local Boston college teaching business management.  My students have trouble writing.  They were either never taught to write or do not feel that controlling the written word is important.  I tried to tell them that a potential employer will not even read their resume if the cover letter is poorly written.

I was taught to write by a dedicated college professor.  He accepted nothing less than thoughtful, concise English.  Why is writing not a bigger priority in K-12 education?

Also, I'm trying to get Mayor Menino to come speak to my class about managing a big city.  If you know, please tell him to respond to my e-mail that I sent last week.

Thanks.

Josh
