Johnson, T. R. "School Sucks." CCC 52.4
(2001): 620-650.
Abstract:
Occasioned by the recent epidemic of violence in
schools and the author's memory of violent schoolyard rhymes, this essay
explores the ways students experience contemporary writing pedagogy. To do so,
the essay ranges from rhetoric's historical discussion of the pleasures of
writing to composition's more recent interest in academic professionalism to
Gilles Deleuze's theory of masochism to the problem of teaching and learning in
a consumer culture.
