4. No, I do not think a mediocre student will follow a specific set of guidelines. If they do decide to do their work they will most likely to it half way. They should follow the guidelines if they want to produce good quality work, however that would require for them to actually care enough about school. But they are labeled mediocre for a reason.
6. No, I do not think that someone who follows the writing process is better than someone who does not but is also a skilled writer. The skilled writer is skilled for a reason and they probably have their own way of a writing process.
7. If students do not want to raise their standards then they will sink and it will be their fault that they are not succeeding. Staff and teachers can only do so much because it is up to the student. The only solution is themselves, they can only themselves.
12. I feel that the Prewriting stage of the writing process is the most important because this is where you develop your paper about what you will be writing about and where you gather your details. Without this step your paper will just be a blob of words that will most likely make no sense.
