  • “This age of information demands that kids be skilled in multiple ways of communicating & organizing information, & writing coherently & thoughtfully will be a skill in even greater demand by employers. A survey of major corporations found that writing was a ‘threshold’ skill needed for hiring & promotions. Two-thirds of salaried employees have writing responsibilities.” -David Walsh
