Writer's Week

I don't like the idea of getting a truancy for not going to class and going to writer's week instead. If a person shows a lot of interest in writing and to that writer or speeker, he or she should be able to go see them. As for the assignments that are given by teachers during writer's week, I think that they are given so we stay focused, show some attention and so we can take writer's week a little more seriously. Also it's a way for teachers to give points for the in class assignments that are missed.
