How is it good? Writing essays teaches writing and also reading. It also teaches thinking critically about your writing and your reading. They are not pointless at all. It's exactly the same as taking code off the internet instead of trying to solve an algorithmic riddle. You may learn something new, but the problem solving process itself is lost and not developed.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoWell you have a whole article, as well as lots of great debate in these comments telling you why it is (or isn’t) good. That’s the beauty of using those reading skills you mentioned.

- mynameisvlad 4y agoThat's hardly an argument against it.
