Working within and against the system...to socialize and liberate

Keeping my promise to myself (writing more each day) and trying to figure out this new app (Blogsy) that I downloaded earlier today...I find myself thinking a bit more about moving my ideas about Error forward. You cannot move forward unless you write. I realize that posting my thinking across platforms may cause some of hou to wonder, "What is Tony up to?" That's ok. I'm just trying to get my thinking out there. I hace no control over your reaction. Here's a cool quote from one of my favorite writers...I think it sums up this experiment...

“Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind”

-Jack Kerouac

Feel free to ignore or engage what you see here...I'm merely trying to figure things out!!

Looking back at some of my older writing on my blog I noticed that the title of my current post was something I thought I wanted to focus my doctoral pursuits on. It is my opinion that (as a teacher) working within and against the system to both socialize and liberate students is what helps keeps a teacher critical of her practice. Currently, I've introduced the topic of Error to this thinking. I know that this is a topic I want to pursue further yet I'm not sure how...if at all...it fits with this whole working within and against to socialize and liberate piece. What aspects of Error am I most interested in? Some stream of consciousness may help here...let's see where it goes...error...writing...pointing out errors to students is a way to socialize them into school writing...marking student work (pointing out errors) socializes students as well...what practices (on the part of teachers) contribute to the socialization of students...how or what does power contribute to these practices...could addressing error in student writing be seen as an act of liberation...on the part of both teachers and students?

I want to look back at the reading/writing I did this past semester...especially what I read and wrote about Kroll and Schafer...there may be something that layers over some of what I'm thinking about here.
