Yancey Post Discussion 2

Discussion post
Joshua C. Cook English 1001 (006)

At the beginning of the discussion I thought that the reasoning for a class dedicated just for English didn’t make much sense. I like the idea of reforming English so that It helps the student more so than just being around for the instructors sake. After some thought and reflexion on what Yancey and my peers where saying, I think it would be more useful to have an English incorporated into other classes so that you have a goal to associate to you writing. I heard an analogy by Elon Musk about how English was a tool and that mechanics don’t take a wrench class they just learn to use a wrench by being a mechanic. Why then is not English used in the same manner?
