17. hell yes. I live in FCATlorida

my son, in Middle School, had the hardest time in a writing class because he was inable to write "outside the formula".

She worked so hard with him to get him to understand that EVERY paragraph did not HAVE TO HAVE an introductory sentence, three supporting sentences, two sentences each supporting an idea in each of those three sentences, and a closing sentence.

He totally supressed his ability to let his thoughts and feelings flow into his writing, and had a hell of a time getting it back.
