This contributes to Pinker's idea that the English language is failing. First, children don't have the self-esteem to write a solid paper and from there they won't ask for the help they need. Lee Warren states in his article, “The most important factor affecting the learning of lower grade students is a lack of confidence based on real or perceived weaknesses in preparation” (Warren). Simply because a child is not of the highest class and is intertwined with these high class students, they feel that they cannot learn as well and this shows in their work. This should not be a factor and this is where teachers need to step in with their own ground rules that all children should address when writing. Teachers must enforce the ground rules and ensure that every child in every class feels equal and capable of being a real writer. Pinker tries to say “[that] once introduced, a prescriptive rule is very difficult to eradicate, no matter how ridiculous” (Pinker 374). This is completely false. What needs to happen is for education authorities to step in and solve the problems starting with young children and continuing through to the end of school, continuing with repeating this for everyone
