Well I Got Published

So I saw this article … https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/06-06-2018/these-education-reforms-put-the-sector-at-the-precipice-of-disaster/

It made me grumpy so I wrote this article … https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/15-06-2018/why-must-schools-be-immune-to-innovation/

The thing is, up until I saw my writing up in ‘print’; published by an actual media outlet I quite like, I didn’t actually realise that I am quite a good writer.

Writing has never particularly appealed. I didn’t engage with it at school with any enthusiasm and I don’t think I ever was formally taught how to write beyond assignment feedback at University.

Seems like if you find a purpose for it, and you practice at it, one can actually become quite good at something with minimal teacher interference … ;-P
