A main goal of educators today is to teach students the skills they need to be critical thinkers.  Instead of simply memorizing facts and ideas, children need to engage in higher levels of thinking to reach their fullest potential.  Practicing Higher Order Thinking (HOT) skills outside of school will give kids and teens the tools that they need to understand, infer, connect, categorize, synthesize, evaluate, and apply the information they know to find solutions to new and existing problems.

Yes Sir I do, both of them are important; but I think writting an essay would be more important.

An essay will help them in their study to write the needed reports, presentations, researchs and even when they have to write an essay; they will have a fine way to write it.

I personally noticed that some student at collage can't write will. So, if they learned how to write well; they wont have this problem, which as we all know could effect their degree.

Lately, a wise teacher told me; "If you don't know the whole answer, and you had a good way to write the answer you know, even if your answer was not completed; a good written one would help you to have a better degree."

About the story; in daily life we all tell stories, a trained person knows how to write a story; will tell his stories in fine, effective and to the point stories. If own students didn't know how to write a story (it might sound a poor idea; but as I thought about it) these students wil have some difficulties telling their stories.

And as another wise man told me: "When you speak you need to know about the Speech Engineering." and to learn about it, you have to be a good story writer and teller.

Not only are essays important but they dictate the type of leaders students will be in the future. In the sense that they help solidify their communication skills, creativity and orderliness.

Very, very important. I studied in the American curriculum and the students were required to take a Writing class every year in addition to English class. Literature, language, and creative writing courses were also offered. Even though it was a heavy work load at the time, I'm very grateful for it now at the university level. I see many students who didn't not learn proper essay structure, how to cite sources or paraphrase, or even how to select proper sources for assignments. Some are at the level I was at in the9th grade.

School is the primary institution which lays the foundation of communication skills for each one of us. In the paradigm of communication skills, writing skills are matured with time. Writing skills are highly pivotal for the growth of a person at any professional level. The writings a student does at school with good practice, open his mind and broadens his thinking capabilities.
