But I see it a lot... apparently people think that a classroom - other than an English/lit class - is the place to write. Hmmm.
On the other hand I could just be a fuddy duddy teacher.
Maybe a little of both? I dunno.. as someone who can't actually process the stuff coming in unless she's multitasking, I never sat and just listened to what was being said. 'Course you know this is how my mind works, I'll be driving in the car, talking about cutting the grass, stop and ask, "Did anything I just say make sense 'cause I was thinking about what to get Kira for her birthday and lost track of the conversation." Apparently, according to you and others who are having these conversations with me.. I don't skip anything in the process.. so I guess I'm good to go when something like that comes along.
On the other hand, some creative writing might also inspire /more/ study.. depending on the type of person doing the writing. Someone who's writing something might wonder how it would have been written by the greeks.. or.. suddenly get inspired to research someone's history in regards to whatever they were creatively writing...
I didn't express that well.. and maybe that's only the way I work too. :)
