The most effective way that people learn as writers is from
other writers. From their peers. From someone who is in a situation
like they're in, trying to do what they're trying to do.
And in those moments you can observer
what a peer is doing and maybe get an idea strategy that will work for you.
Students learn this way much more effectively than they learn from a teacher
telling them what to do
and many studies have shown that this is the case.
Now, this is somewhat disquieting
especially to teachers at first that - "Wait, they're gonna pick up the habits ...
... of a fellow student before they do what I tell them ... oh wait. Yeah, you're right."
So it makes sense, right? If you're a parent
or if you've been a teacher - of COURSE they're gonna listen to their peers before they listen to you!
