<p>“I Do want him to learn to write, but I’m thinking he should go to one of his less demanding options”.</p>
<p>Honestly I don’t think any good school is going to let a writing challenged student graduate without learning how to write in at least minimally acceptable way. As a mater of fact I think that may be one of the very definitions of a good school. Of course they should provide whatever support and tutoring an otherwise good student might need…</p>
<p>As for selecting Elon as one of “his less demanding options” - that won’t work, because Elon both pays attention to the SAT writing scores and encourages writing regardless of major. Elon does however provide lots of support for students to become life long writers.</p>
