Can You Tell Me How to Get to the Swann's House?

Greg Swann’s son, Cameron, was tasked with writing an essay, which, would provide directions to the Swann home from the school which Cameron attends.  Cameron, dutifully, completed the assignment, but, unfortunately, the individual who assigned the task, felt, that Cameron had not taken the essay assignment seriously.  The instructor thus required Cameron complete a re-write of the essay.  What follows, is Cameron’s re-write.

"From the edge of the parking lot, turn left. Go straight. When you reach the crossing guards on Peoria Avenue, turn right. Cross 39th Avenue. Go straight until you reach 37th Avenue. Turn right. Walk straight until you reach Cochise Drive. Turn left. Walk straight until you reach 3608 W Cochise Drive. Stop walking. Think about a universe with no style, with no creativity, overrun with mediocrity. Cry yourself to sleep."

Now, go and read the essay Cameron orignally submitted, which, was deemed unsatisfactory and sarcastic.  Greg also has some comments on this, and, allows us to read his letter to the school on this matter.
