Frank - after 10 years teaching IB - I have started with A level - I was
astonished to find that my students just starting A2 had never written an
essay before. You can go through AS without ever doing one. For your info -
I insist that as far as possible all essay work is word-processed - my wife
is a university tutor - and her students are in for bad shock if they can't
word process by the time they get to her. It might be a tad unfashionable
but I think of A levels as a preparation for university or work - where word
processing is near mandatory.
