Advice from William J. Kerrigan:
"You don't go to school to learn to be vague and inaccurate, you know; you could learn that anywhere.
When you go into your other college courses, study before each class; always turn your work in on time; make one statement or ask one serious question in class every day; cooperate with your instructor; and you'll succeed in those classes as you have in this one."

Thanks, Catherine.
This is coming at the perfect time for me. Not only is my own writing vague and unfocused, but my kids aren't doing any better. It's time I sat down and really thought about what each of us is doing.
I clearly have to be much less reactive when it comes to writing. I just don't know if I can proactively afterschool writing in addition to math. And then there's science, which we are all totally ignoring.
