SWE for me?

SWE has been a burden to many a mind that has crossed the thresholds of any public school. The great thing about that is, they had no idea that is was SWE. The teachers just told us it was THE WAY, and it was so. I know Shirley had a part in it at my elementary school (s). I think she had a hand in a lot of teaching of public schools in Oklahoma, and it looks like we turned out ok.

I do think SWE should be taught, but I'm not creative enough to come up with a new teaching curriculum. The ways of old seemed to work for me, to an extent, so some fine tuning to that method would possibly be ideal. Just never take books out of the plan. Books are the lifeblood to anything I know about composition, word usage, etc.
