Success! (somewhat) My principal came to me the other day and said they
(admin) are thinking about letting the English department create its own
writing assignments and rubrics rather than always following Collins. We
may even get down to only 10 "Type Fours" per year. Finally, they
listened! Could this be because we just got our writing scores back and
they are lower again?!
