My topic of the differences between high school and college writing is important because knowing how to better prepare themselves many college freshman can go further in college quicker. Many college students take at least the first year to relearn their writing skills which really delay their achievement. It has been shown that the differences are mainly because of standardized testing, which inhibits the actual teaching of new topics, but sets students goal solely for passing the end of the year test. Most of the research done is done by teachers. This raises the question of whether or not all of the research that the claims are based on is biased. And I also would like to know what can be done to fix these gaps of education. This paper will deal with the various differences that high school and college writing have as well as why it is different. It will outline the differences, why the styles of writing have become different as well as goals and ideas for politicians and teachers to hopefully one day fix the problems that standardizing testing has done.
