Why might argumentative writing be considered the most important type of writing to master in school?

Argumentative writing is primarily for storytelling.

Almost all forms of academic writing are a form of argument, in which you convince the reader to agree with your position.

It is the easiest type of writing to master.

Argumentative writing is only useful for academic essays, so it isn't very important at all.
