Correlation does not imply causation. Unless you’re reading these kids’ essays, then you can’t know why they’re really getting good grades. Hell, even if you were to read their essays, you aren’t reading them with the same pair of eyes as your teacher. Think for a moment, you’ve been writing “essays” for a couple years (I don’t count essays before honors level as the same at all), but your teacher has been reading and writing essays for years and years, and at much higher levels than you. Who has more experience in this case? Your teacher.
