Thanks, CCN!

I've been reluctant to make him do extra writing work outside of school other than things like writing short notes, making lists--the kinds of things one actually must do in everyday life.

He'll write down numbers if he's doing math for fun. He'll write me notes in secret code for fun. Give him a writing assignment, though, no matter how simple, and it's probably going to be a long and painful process. I can understand why teachers get frustrated.
