I was chatting with this girl today who is teaching high school sophomores screenwriting. She was grading their short scripts, but when I looked at them, they weren't really formatted. They were in paragraphs. I asked her about that, and she said she didn't want to bother with formatting because it just gets in the way. It's a talented and gifted group of kids too.
When I was an artist in the schools years ago, average kids had no trouble with stage play or screenplay format at all. This lady hasn't a clue.
