When Teaching Is a Private Affair
Falbo, Bianca
Composition Studies, v32 n2 p93-108 Fall 2004
This essay examines contradictory attitudes toward teaching and writing at a small college. Looking at her "private" experience as a teacher and "public" experience as a WPA, the author considers how assumptions about the privatization of teaching inhibit deep understanding of teaching and learning as intellectual work.
