I like how Fecho mentions, "Usually one writes a piece and, after publication, that piece lives a life of it own" (281). I have had this conversation with my students and authors alike. I wonder if that is why I often feel hesitant to publish anything -- including a blog....I don't want my words manipulated by readers. I strive to make my writings and utterings to be as precise and exact as possible so that my meaning and intent may not be altered to suit the desires of the reader.
quantitative - qualitative ; descriptive - prescriptive; -- I like the classification and I think that it shows the struggle between what we are told to do and what we know/believe we must do.
I am also interested in the recognition that Fecho gives to the response of a University department head and a principal to seeing a similar situation.
