Paragraphs exist, kind of.

Yesterday I was wondering what the story is with the students never using paragraphs. One of my Co-s explained to me that they do, in fact, learn what paragraphs are, but the teacher basically don’t have time to worry about it. There are too many students to effectively do any sort of writing assignment. Also, writing is not something that is needed for the exams, and since the parents and the system only care about student scores in exams, the teacher generally spend all their time on things that will improve said score.
