It is time to have your say – the topic today is should writing be taught in schools?

Writing has long been a core subject for school education. Is it time that we made creative writing and storytelling part of the same curriculum?

Schools only have a finite amount of time each week to teach lessons. So if creative writing were added, what subject(s) should it replace?

Is creative writing important enough to make it a school subject?

Would teaching creative writing as a lesson encourage more writers or put kids off writing?
