Gordon, I think that Delpit was pointing out that the explanations
are used strictly for *evaluative* purposes, rather than the
mediational ones you point out. That is, the teachers she describes
would only accept an action as legitimate if people could explain
it in words. Otherwise they'd give it a bad grade.
