Essays produced for school aren't of much value for someone else to read. The value is to the writer who gets to practice synthesizing ideas and communicating them into words. There's still value to be had in learning how to communicate effectively in writing.
- carlmr 3y agoI underestimated the power of writing myself when I was in high school. I always preferred math, physics, programming, and chemistry, to the vague, almost arbitrary nature of writing good essays. As I've gotten older I've noticed how my day job depends more on communicating effectively than solving hard technical problems. The best technical idea doesn't serve you if you can't communicate it to others.
