There are many points made that can clearly push the overall answer one way, or another, its just about balancing out the positives and negatives. Cullington explains that texting can potentially hurt formal writing, but is proven to have no positive or negative affects in the long run. There are many concerns about text speak and formal writing. Cullington talks about how teachers see a decline in writing and are having problems in class because of text speak. “A Minnesota teacher of seventh and ninth grades says that she has to spend extra time in class editing papers and must 'explicitly' remind her students that is is not acceptable to use text slang and abbreviations in writing” (Cullington 89).
I never really liked writing from personal experience because it always felt forced. I wasn’t thinking about it for myself, from a student writer’s perspective, but for the audience as well. But I took into account the fact that the audience for almost all student essays is going to be just one person who's going to tell me if I did it correctly, and percentage-wise just how correctly. Then I thought, ”How could I, or for that matter anyone, be personal incorrectly? How would one misuse their personality?” It may have been that I was defining the term personal to strictly refer to speaking of a past experience.
Many teachers do not like “catching plagiarists and bringing them to academic justice.” As she states, it is not hard to just cite the author that originally had the information you are using (Bojar).

In the beginning of the essay, Goodman makes an appeal to pathos by stating “I think that a great majority of professors agree that grading hinders teaching and creates a bad spirit, going as far as cheating and plagiarizing.”(191). Goodman has made up in his mind that professors know that grading is not helping students but is causing them to cheat. Students tend to think that by taking someone else’s work that has scored a decent grade on it that it will help them do the same. If a person put their heart into their work and they do not do as well as they would have hoped than that person might get discouraged. That particular person might decide to cheat.
FreeWriting In the article, “FreeWriting”, Mr. Elbow states,” next time you write, notice how often you stop yourself from writing down something you were gonna write down. Or else cross out what’s been written. “Naturally” you say, “it wasn’t any good”. I can definitely relate to the view Peter Elbow takes in his article.

When I write a first draft, I attempt to be perfect. Because of this, I get hung up on the little details and end up not able to either finish my work, or not able to properly convey my ideas. Lamott talks in the chapter “Perfectionism” on the last paragraph of page 29 about how perfectionism can be a result of our minds building a barrier from our bad experiences with writing or other issues that may have gone on.
