1SUMMARY OF ARTICLE
The title of the article “Why Can’t my employees write?” acts as a siren call for any
critics. John Warner in his article explores the reason of the disparity between the purpose of
writing a piece and the actual outcome derived from a newly appointed employee. Warner
primarily does not agree with the fact that the new employees lack in competencies or
knowledge that results in the said disparity. On asking various employers, he developed the idea
that most of the employers are of the notion that the writings of the new employees lacks the
sense of clarity at the basic level and hence do not match with the expectation or vision of
writing. On digging deeper to find out the root cause, Warner discards the idea of the
incompetence of the employees since they evidently come from well off colleges securing good
marks. (Warner, 2018)
Warner’s argument then is based on the criticism of the educational system that has its
focus on only theoretical knowledge and is just assessment oriented. This has led the students to
be able to write in a particular style that can only reflect their intelligence in the particular
section and thus, the primary aim of writing, which is communication, has been shifted. In
discussing the folly in the educational system, Warner points out to the inability of the
curriculum to make an individual aware of a practical situation (Warner, 2018). The students
observe the art of writing only as an art of enhancing the way of telling something and thus, the
importance of the subject matter is diluted. Since they have been accustomed to the systematic
trainings in writing, taking particular care of rubrics and numberings and styles, they have shifted
themselves from creativity or practicality. Thus, they are unable to gauge what in reality the
employers expect from them (Yaşar & Sözbilir, 2017)..
As a prescriptive measure, Warner suggests that the students need to be trained in the art
of art of writings where they shall not be restricted by particular formulas; rather the free flowing
