mooop,
If you think you have a point, and one worth proving, why don’t you prove it?
I imagine you believe that “everyone knows that…” and “it’s a fact that…” and yet you haven’t proven anything.
What this discourse proves to me is that liberal arts colleges have a lot of work to do. It’s about enquiry, discipline, structure and communication skills.
So thanks for the lesson and for challenging educators everywhere.
Good luck to college applicants and continuing education students!
