Mediocre kids should follow a a specific set of guidelines because it will make them better writers and they will be motivated by their success.

For example writing in a diary is better than writing on a piece of paper. Is it enough to edit your paper on the computer with spell check? It's not enough to edit your paper on the computer with spell check because you can come up with better ideas and rewrite your paper if you needed to plus spell check is just to make sure you spelled your word correctly and spell check will not tell you when you used the wrong word.
