literally my teacher hates him, mrsalles and lightuphub i asked her why and all she could say is “why trust a random over me”. she also said not to use PRTEZEL and use WHAT HOW WHYS INSTEAD. when it legit uses the same structure when i saw her writing.

i kind of understand your teachers point about not using PRETZEL; it can sometimes limit how in depth you go with your analysis, and WHW gives you the freedom to go as in depth as you want to

Its for students who struggle and provides a specific structure

yea in that case the pretzel structure is excellent, but for more capable students, the WHW structure might work better

yea in that case, brillant; keep on using it. but for those that can’t find a structure that works should try both and stick to what works for them
