On the other hand, some creative writing might also inspire /more/ study.. depending on the type of person doing the writing.
I agree with this... you're right, and having thought about it, it isn't that people are writing in lessons that bothers me, it's the attitude... the:
...something I wrote in xxx class because I had nothing better to do
No problem with multi-tasking to keep the brain ticking over at the right speed/intensity for each individual, but it's that attitude of assumption that the class is a waste of time. Might well have been, but then can't the student do something relevant to make it worthwhile? Like you said, wondering how this of that person would have done something... or inspired to research something or whatever.
You expressed it just fine, and got me thinking, *grin* Thank you.
