Deceptive writing

These days, kids at school are sucked into mandated “persuasive writing”. Curious as to the origin of this abomination, wiki reveals that Persuasive writing is a form of writing in which the writer uses words to convince the reader that the writer’s opinion is correct in regard to an issue.

Otherwise known as PR or advertorials.

It looks like we’re training a whole generation of kids to grow up to become journos for the reader’s digest.

I’m not sure why.
