I think it's important well beyond students who are interested in creative writing -- who doesn't have to email their boss? Knowing how to be clear and how to frame information is essential. (not to even start on what to reveal and when or how to convince...)

The system needs an awful lot of changes on almost every level. Which is why I stopped teaching and learned to sell the bomb :/ It's a thing that on paper I feel much worse about than I do in actuality. It's not the good, right thing, but it is the sane, survivable one.
