On Writing:

>it’s very hard to teach people to write, because it’s unbelievably time intensive. Marking a good essay, that’s really easy: “Check. A.” You did everything right. Marking a bad essay: Oh my god. The words are wrong, the phrases are wrong, the sentences are wrong, they are not ordered right in the paragraphs, the paragraphs aren’t coherent, and the whole thing makes no sense. So, trying to tell the person what they did wrong: it’s like: “Well you did everything wrong. Everything about this essay is wrong.”<
