I can agree, we did this all throughout high school in Ontario. Producing an essay in your class period was something they taught you how to do. What you'd hand in was messy and rushed, but it still had references, a thesis, and 5 (short) paragraphs. I don't see why today's youth couldn't eventually do the same, especially if they're given an (offline, or firewalled) Chromebook to type on.
