According to King, many writing teachers will not like the idea that competent writers can be made into good writers.
This is his exact quote:
"...while it is impossible to make a competent writer out of a bad writer, and while it is equally impossible to make a great writer out of a good one, it is possible, with lots of hard work, dedication, and timely help, to make a good writer out of a merely competent one."
So writers that have some merit will become good writers after a time of practice and hard work.

That's because he thinks the school will make Huck superior to him, allowing Huck to be ashamed of his father.
In that case, he wants Huck not to be educated, like him, so that Huck will never feel superior.
