        i down-loaded this paper last week - Michael had posted the site then
- and i've read it twice now - i found it fascinating because of my
position as a classroom teacher which is often the object of the
university researcher's gaze - and which so often problematizes the
classroom teacher without understanding the activity relationships that
are centered within the university that have situated the classroom
teacher within those problem. i hate talking this way without grounding
it in a specific experience. so, excuse me in this case please.

        however, Michael's practice of co-teaching of researcher and classroom
teacher and student teacher is highly innovative - it deserves lots of
discussion, i think.

The English noun "identity" comes, ultimately, from the
Latin adverb "identidem", which means "repeatedly."
The Latin has exactly the same rhythm as the English,
buh-BUM-buh-BUM - a simple iamb, repeated; and
"identidem" is, in fact, nothing more than a
reduplication of the word "idem", "the same":
"idem(et)idem". "Same(and) same". The same,
repeated. It is a word that does exactly what
it means.

                          from "The Elusive Embrace" by Daniel
Mendelsohn.
