RE: Liberatory Teaching and Writing Centers

[Ellen Mohr <emohr@johnco.cc.ks.us>]

Thanks, Beth, for pointing out this article. I had laid my issue aside

be an excellent support for my on-going battle of instructors sending
students to the Writing Center to get help with their grammar. I intend
to pass this article along to some of my colleagues.
