The Importance of Story-Based Writing

I hate the five paragraph essay. I wish we'd do more story-based stuff and actual creative stuff. Even creative writing classes don't do much actual narrative building. AP here in the US is called Advanced Placement. It's like, if you were doing O levels and A levels, you're getting ready for your A levels. But yeah, it's all on paper, so you can't really cheat. And I think I learned more than he did.
