hi, bill
no, we don't battle--just interpret differently--and that's good :)

I'm out sick, so I don't have access to my files, but when I return to the
office, I will try to supply you the citations where Hairston is, indeed,
imho, condescending to students.  Why compositionists have deified her is
beyond me.  She spread anecdotes as truth and never supported her assertions
with research.  Instead of wrangling with the complexities brought to us by
postmodernism, critical pedagogy, etc., she dismissed them, claiming that
her opponents did not know how to write clear prose.

Gee, Irv.  It seems we battle over this at least once a year, eh?  :)  I
hope all is well with you

Bill

Thank you, Kathy.
That's how I remember reading the article.

<<I didn't read her saying that students were incapable of dealing with
political realities.  Republicans, maybe, but not all young people.>>

Okay, this almost made my laugh my afternoon coffee right onto the keyboard.
Seems spot on, though--Hairston's was less a "you can't handle The Truth!"
stance than a "Teacher's version of Truth shouldn't drown out the marvelous
diversity of truths students bring, from which everyone in the room might
learn much" stance.  It's a generous, appreciative view of students, not a
dismissive one.

Kathy
