As a teacher, I have trouble believing that there are many teachers out there that believe that writing isn't an important skill moving forward. pretty sad if that is indeed the case.
That said, if the only practice a child is getting in their fundamental life skills (reading, writing, math, etc) is at school, they're likely going to be behind or show gaps in these areas, unless they show natural talents in these areas or are phenomenal self-starters (which seems to be increasingly rare these days, there are more things kids have/are given to occupy their time)
