And now there's a nun-shortage.  What _are_ we to do?  ;-)

I wonder, though... How many students, of those exposed to the Sister
Emerita treatment, actually went on to be confident, capable writers?
Certainly some of them did, and there are surely gradations of quality
in the Catholic school tradition(s).  But is it possible that one of
the appeals is "I attribute my abilities to that experience, therefore
it must be effective, and others should experience it too?"

As I write this, I realize this may soon become the argument for lots
 of pedagogies...including the ones I experienced. It's not the kind of
justification I'm most comfortable with....

Busy shaping at the point of utterance,
