Just...wow I screwed this up....um...first, I write with out much thought for grammer and spelling here because I am multitasking. Second I know that writing is emportant but I have writing disabilities and as I said before I am on track of getting a 1500 on the SATs in high school. So, if writing is put in there my score will drop say..400 points (this is because my writing is chicken scratch).

Also LA is both writing and reading, but every one assumes you can read (not talking about me but others) and my mom being a reading recovery teacher, she knows this as well.

If you do have a Writing Disabalitiy you can have a scribe present for your test (at least in ohio they do). Also check into you LD laws of you state. During High School I had every one of my wrighting assigments done on the computer (in all subjects). The object of a paper is that you know what the hell yout talkign about in a manner that others can understand (grammer is importatnt). Fuck spelling, cast off its Evil reigns and may it be damned to the deepest bowels of inner hell. (cause thats where it came form) .

In guam, I took a history college class from the U of Maryland and then entire grade was two essay papers writtin there in class. I though I was fucked, but the teacher (who was an english professor anyway) said he war here to grade history so the first paper i got a 100% even though it was barely ledgable, I had numbers inthe middle of worlds, I switched letters, I switched whole words and just generally broke every spelling rule in the book. (guys who know me here know what im talkgin about). anyway On to Real Life!

In real life fuckgin english and writing still follow you around, so sadly you must work thoughout highschool doing the crap ass writing drills so you can pass the class go on the college do even more wrighting then get a degree so you can work at wallmart as a greeter. (but hey pratice make perfict and youll be a wrighting wiz by then!!)

The King of teh typpoes has spoken!

*edit for above poster* reading and writing are not that much hand in hand. Ill read anything in english that you put in front of me, but tell me to write somthing and ill punch you in your face.

Writing is relative to reading, whilst reading is relative to learning and learning=money, happiness, job, skills, babes and respect (well, maybe not the last two). Math is great and such, but math only covers the *bum bum bum* Mathematical universe. Sure, it's used in all sorts of jobs, but compared to the universe opened through writing, math is plain boring! This may be my opinion, but when was the last time you saw some dude bring a hot chick to a scenic view and while the sun sets and casts a euphoric glow upon her glorious features causing the man to run his hand through the strands of loveliness that cascade her neck and shoulders, saying: "Baby, my geometic figures require attention. Take y and relate to x for solution." This scenario results in nothing but the girl leaving, and the guy retiring to a lonely life of permanent masturbation. So please, give your hand a DIFFERENT hobby, learn to write. (Wow, that was rather long and quite unneccessary, but it sure looks cool.)
:fighter: <--Uh, Master Bashion? Is that like a dungeon boss?
:bmage: <--no, it's the closest you'll ever get to reproducing

ohhh ohhh ohhhh I know a job that requires no skills! Chess!!
any way I live in Chapel Hill, which has by far the hardest public school system in America.

Reading is no problem for me, I read faster (while comprehending the book) than most of the litterate forum goers here. also I take latin and am aceing it, so it isn't that I am dumb or anything.

Also, about the language arts thing and how reading is assumed to be known, while writing is forced...

Duh.

Really, we all know that you can read. Unless you pay off the teachers, you haven't even gotten to 8th grade if you couldn't read. It's just a given that if they show you a page, you'll know to read from left to right, then go down a line.

The point of writing isn't meanness on the teachers part, its for conveyance of whatever the hell you want. Without writing, Einstein could never have explained his cuhrazy theories. Writing at your level is conveyance of yourself. Writing at higher school level is usually showing that you know what the topic is.

I hate math, because I know that at no point outside of school will somebody ask me to solve for x, but somebody will notice if I write like a hillbilly.

Also, just cuz your chicken scratch sucks, doesn't mean that you have to suck at writing.

Whoops sorry Highonpawns. I edited it.

I meant you get a novel on Monday, and you must read it and write a 5 page essay by Friday (of the same week). Sorry for the misunderstanding. To read a novel and write a 5 page essay in one hour would be just plain impossible.

read book day 1

write page 2 and 3 day 3
write page 4 and 5 day five

that is 3 hours of reading on day one (from 11:00pm to 2:00am) and 30 min to an hour for the rest

It looks like enough other people, such as Shiney, have gotten here to say what needed to be said.

I'll merely put in my support of reading and writing, as well as grammar, instead of trying to convince you of my opinion on the importance of proper writing ability (even here in forums). Things such as Airbag using the word "hard" instead of "difficult" and the reasoning of "I'm multitasking, so I can write like an idiot here in these posts" (like that's some sort of viable excuse for looking like a moron) caught my attention, for example. Anyway, writing and reading in school can't hurt you, as it will merely provide pieces to the foundation of your knowledge.

I so have a new signature. Wow.

Lots of advice in this topic HoP, I hope you pay attention to it. You will need writing skills in the future. Also, if you like to RP (I believe I've seen you in the RP forum) then legible creative well-developed writing skills will benefit you to no end. Nobody likes to RP with a grammatical moron, after all.

I used to type with awful grammar and punctuation to confuse people in forums into thinking I was an idiot, then I realized I AM an idiot and had better switch back to normal typings, rightquick. so I did, thought I am still pretty lax with capital letters because I think they are retarded.

grammar and spelling and punctuation are things I've never ever had trouble with, so it's difficult for me to comprehend someone having difficulty with something as simple as spelling the word "necessary", but to me it looks like you could use the extra writing. might help you out, spelling/otherwise.

ok then 4 hours, be that way!

also the "I'm multitasking" was more of a joke than anything.

------
I kind of would like to change the focus of the thread to what I ment it to be in the first place

reading and math get pushed aside for writing, so is writing so nessesary that if you can write well and bubble in multipal choice answers ok then you pass

edit: I didn't notice all the new posts. Shinny, I use to be a spammy, no grammar at all, kind of poster, but I did what little unicorn boy did (though I was stubborn about it at first)
