Tights are not pants

LET'S BE CLEAR
The wearing of tights as pants is an abomination. TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS.

Sure in the context of sports, ballet, hair metal, and renaissance fairs, tights function as suitable leg coverings, but still they are not pants.

No. These are not activities that transform tights into pants; these are historically acceptable acts of PANTLESSNESS.

Tights as pants leave nothing to the imagination. Tights as pants are an affront to those of us who PREFER NOT TO KNOW the most intimate details of their neighbors' bodies.

Tights as pants are the fashion equivalent of Too Much Information . This gratuitous divulgence of assets repels where the tights-as-pants wearer presumably hopes to entice.

We have tired of tolerating attempts to force tights into this non-native garment category, and have decided to do something about it?

Is there a more effective framework for teaching writing?

There is a program in elementary schools is called 6 Trait writing developed by NorthWest US educators (see: http://www.thetraits.org/about). It was developed to replace a simple grading system and provide teachers with a more effective method for evaluating and giving feedback on student writing.

The traits are: idea development, organization, word choice, voice, and sentence fluency. Here you can find definitions: http://www.nwrel.org/assessment/definitions.php?odelay=0&d=1

I am just now looking into this system to figure out how I might use it as a framework for my own training of business and legal professional.

But I want to share it with other trainers and perhaps generate some conversation on this.
