Writing essays? These kids? Your average HS Grad is lost. Ask his Freshman college Prof.

Actually students have improved on precisely this score over the past twenty years. Better writers and better able to write to an argument.

There's a huge emphasis on learning writing skills (both how to express an argument and how to structure one) in both high schools and higher education.
