I know we recently had a discussion about whether
indenting paragraphs was necessary, and I learned that
it really isn't because the reader can do the
indenting if he/she wants, or skip lines between
paragraphs if he/she wants. All that is necessary for
me as the validator to do is to hit return and thus
create the new paragraph symbol.

That certainly saves time and effort, but as I proceed
gayly along validating this book for young adults
without indenting paragraphs,m I'm wondering--what are
they learning? For school-age children from K - high
school, shouldn't I be indenting so that they learn
how to write in paragraphs? If they write compositions
or term papers without paragraphs indented and say
that the books they've been reading (from
bookshare)are written that way...?

Please advise me ASAP.
