(http://www.write4life.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/JTQA_KimAdes-300x300.jpg)It seems like every subject in school is requiring students to keep a "journal" for enhanced learning. My first reaction to this awareness was happy. But I wonder whether students can be truly honest, while they are also hoping their teachers will award them a good grade? Doesn't this violate some of the defining characteristics of good journaling?
