An English teacher speaks . . .

In my class, an essay had to be at least 5 paragraphs long (intro, body, conclusion). A paragraph had to contain at least 3 sentences. So, near as I can tell, she didn't even write a paragraph.
(I always told my students who complained of having to write a specified amount that they did not yet have "poetic license" - they had a learner's permit which required rules (!))
