Quote for the day for English teachers and would-be English teachers like myself:
“For in Calormen, story-telling (whether the stories are true or made up) is a thing you’re taught, just as English boys and girls are taught essay writing. The difference is that people want to hear the stories, whereas I never heard of anyone who wanted to read the essays.”
— C.S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy
Great quote from a great book and a wonderful author! Definitely true as well, I hate reading even my own essays…
