We most definitely teach number 2. That's what English class is - you read books, plays, maybe documents, and then you write essays on them. You need to be concise, persuasive, have a unique voice.

Just because you, and other's, did not pay attention or were not good writers, does not mean we don't teach that. We do, for years.
