On the vast level, writing can be an authentic agent to build and support a community. Then the community transmits new ideas and transforms them into reality. The educators adopt some of these new ideas to promote reform in academics and make the curriculum more comprehensible for students, parents, schools, districts, communities and the nation at large.
