I actually hadn't been thinking in terms of horror shows, but more along
the lines of someone who could argue for her meticulous teaching from all
sorts of authority.  The biologist with whom I work (who is just baffled
to hear that she's become a star in the world of WAC), recalls her only
real training in writing coming from a 7th grade class where the teacher
made them write well crafted sentences, then paragraphs, then longer
essays.  Language was to be sculpted, coaxed, hammered where necessary.

I really respect that kind of teaching, and wish that comp. had some kind
of overall k-21 curriculum where such learning was set to happen,rather
than randomly  distributed.  I wish we knew at what point in education
it would be most useful; I wish someone in graduate schools took the
time to teach new rhets how to teach such courses.  Mostly we're taught
how to survive, run studies on students, sometimes how to operate small
office equipment.
