It's time the schools stop basing ones intellect and education on a standardized test and look beyond a one size fits all agenda

Creative writing gives kids the opportunity to think outside of the box. They can explore new worlds, people, and ideas through creative writing.

Everybody should have the right to write and learn. To have the ability to create a new life and a new person on paper, is special, and is something that should be encouraged.

Creative writing is as fundamental a part of the arts as music composition and 2D creation. It's a form of creative expression that has real world application. Writing and communication skills are important in virtually every career.

Please bring back creative writing. This was the only class I enjoyed that taught me to write

Without creative writing I wouldn't have become the writer I am today, and I want future generations to enjoy their own discoveries in writing as well!

Creativity and problem solving skills are learned in many more ways than just bridge building and test tubes. We need well rounded education opportunities for all of our children.

I never understood how to properly write academic papers until I got deeply involved with creative writing. It is an essential skill that helps students plan, pace, and understand their papers on a much deeper level.

Creative writing is essential, even for writing analytical essays and research papers. It makes them more interesting and engaging for the reader (and the writer), and therefore more effective. Writing is putting your soul on paper, and can help you work through problems and express yourself in multiple ways.

Knowing how to read analytically and write in various forms are critical to thinking and problem solving and empathy.

Creative writing is so important to kids these days. I'm only in High School, but I feel like teachers are neglecting the subject of creative writing and instead focus more on essay writing.
