Do tech-writing classes help?

I have to read a lot of technical, low-level software description. Most of the writing is so poor it's frightening. I got so upset that I began to ask "how would I rewrite this paragraph to read as if a sane person wrote it?" And then, sometimes, I did rewrite it.

After only a few months of dabbling, I noticed that I'd started to write more clearly, more strongly, more succinctly. Reading bad writing made my writing better. It was all automatic and cheaper than a class.

Maybe the same sort of thing could work for you.
