Trying On: The American Education


What Use Practice!; Notes Against Mastery?

We had a great conversation. And then something interesting, too:

PA–So you may want to rewrite your paper now. In light of what we’ve said. Since it seems we’ve come to some new understandings–you might be able to clarify, you know, and work towards that mastery.

JLRH–Actually I like this just fine I mean this was a conversation between you and me we had it, we were here–we know that–

PA–I mean, you never know–

JLRH–What is so important about the model of writing as mastery?

PA–It is so incomprehensible that you would say this–so entirely out of sync with everything else you’ve just said–that I would have to start and the beginning and repeat everything I’ve said all over again to demonstrate its importance to you– and with that, I leave you.

 

Get that smile off yr face.
