Notes to finish:

J.B. denigration of skills. Sue, hierarchical maintenance of power. Carol, local loyalty held against launching future elites. Maxine, local community acceptance. Barbara, prestigious academic stuff. Lois and Joanie - agendae of their own. Just like Marlene and Jaime. Susan - off to Berkeley. Nothing as clear as the bullies of whom Duncan Kennedy complains, but none the less, hierarchical control.

Students could discuss, but couldn't lead argument. Bourdieu - academic discourse - how could I have it when I wasn't having it myself?

Helped that I had never had such entree so I didn't know the rules. I set about to create my fantasy of what "they" must have had.

Learning has to start with what you want to talk about - Lenard, Rousseau and Emile.

But learning also means discipline. C's simply say you haven't succeeded. The self-esteem stuff says we need support. So we began to write in this direction.

The kid who asked you mean you want me to know not just T F, but why?
