During the recent Board of Education meeting held by the Gloversville Enlarged School District, a high school student passionately advocated for a standout course in the English curriculum: Forms of Writing. The student shared their positive experiences, emphasizing the course's focus on practical writing skills that are applicable in real-world scenarios.

The student highlighted that the course covers a variety of writing styles, including college essays, business reports, and instructional writing. They expressed that the knowledge gained in just ten weeks of the course has surpassed what they learned throughout their entire educational career in English. This strong endorsement underscores the course's effectiveness and relevance in preparing students for future academic and professional endeavors.

The course, taught by Miss Pooling, has been described as a "gem" by the student, indicating its high value within the school's offerings. This feedback not only reflects the quality of instruction but also points to a growing recognition of the importance of practical writing skills in education.

As the district continues to evaluate its curriculum, the positive reception of the Forms of Writing course may influence future decisions regarding course offerings and teaching methods. The Board's acknowledgment of such student feedback could lead to further enhancements in the English program, ensuring that students are equipped with essential skills for their future.
