This is a comment from Laurie Fendrich. I thought I would put it somewhere more visible than the comments sections. Her essay “A Pedagogical Straightjacket” was the subject of this post. The essay was first published by the Chronicle, but is still paywalled. Below she provides a link to a copy on her website.
I’m Laurie Fendrich, the author of this essay, and I own the copyright to it. I think things today are worse than they were when my essay was originally posted, so I am happy to see it has legs.
You can find the essay in its entirety posted on my website:
