[lit-ideas] Re: The Big Mistake

The students I was referring to below are my Education students. The grad
students among them are assumed to be both personally responsible and
professionally accountable for replying to my comments. The undergrads,
however, are not yet "professionally" involved in teaching since they are still
doing their pre-service BEd. They remain personally responsible and
"professionally" accountable in a projective sense of "professionally" that I
should have specified more precisely given that we have amnongst us the likes
of JL. That projective sense is akin to the projective sense in which we
attribute "autonomy" to children and claim that teachers ought to respect their
rational autonomy. 

Trust this clears things up because I have a very nice deck waiting for me,
under wafting blossom-scented breezes and awash in splendid sunshine.
