Default Why is e-prime necessary??

Hello Marcio and Karen,I stay quite busy these days, so I couldn't visit this website.We cannot use e-prime in our school, since the text book prescribes Standard English and nobody respects e-prime.My attempts to convert them into e-prime thinkers will prove futile.Any suggestions as to what I should do?Certainly, I cannot use e-prime in grammar in school, since the 'be' forms play such a pivotal role in English.
Also, Can you help me translate this sentence into e-prime?
"In moral power, a woman is far superior to man"
In translating this sentence : "Female sex is not the weaker sex but the nobler one" into e-prime do we lose the meaning of the sentence or its purpose?
Kindly reply.
