This is so true, and it's actively harmful when students go on to university. Many students write like their main goal is to impress their readers. The opposite is true in academic writing, where this kind of flamboyant writing actually weakens the substance.

This is exactly it. They think they'll look better if their essay shows off two or three different things they've done, when the truth is that the best essays I've read are from students who pick one singular thing and fully explore it. Classic style over substance.
