Greer,

The scores would likely remain unchanged. No evidence that I know of exists to suggests that the act of writing makes people smarter.

That said, no reason exists why even those who are not especially bright, provided that they are not hopelessly dumb, cannot be taught to write better than is the sorry norm these days.

I like Hawaiian pidgin, so I have formed no strong stance on the issue.

This article has changed that.

(Incidentally, it would be interesting to see IQ scores of kids who have gone through these programs and compare them to kids who have not…)

Is that a trick question?
