"Here it was, out in the open: the subtext of practically every class
I’ve ever taught. I’ve grown accustomed to yanking my side of the rope
in an unspoken tug-of-war. The teacher emphasizes conceptual
understanding. The students conspire to find shortcuts around it. So it
always goes.
But I’d never heard a student break the fourth wall quite like this. It
was as if Peter Jackson popped up on camera saying, “I know you want a
good story, but what about a bloated trilogy full of mind-numbing battle
scenes instead? You’ll still buy a ticket, right?”"
A beautiful essay. Via Dana Ernst and Jonathan Landrum.
