Learning how write a comparative essay- CM1145

This is something that has been drilled into our heads is since the beginning of time. Seriously teachers have been preaching this to us since junior high. You can only imagine my delight when we had to spend a class this semester hearing the same things that our teachers have forced us to learn over and over , time and time again.

I still fail to see why this was basically the only thing that was made to seem of any importance by our teachers in high school. In university there is nowhere near as much emphasis put on comparative essays. There are a variety of different kinds of essays that you learn to write in university which you are unprepared for. You are unprepared because you are not taught in high school. I really hate comparative essay's.
