English Composition as a Happening

This piece of writing has a very negative approach. He is talking about his own personal feelings and beliefs about education and gives many supporting quotes and ideas. I found it very interesting that Deemer put quotations around the word teacher every single time he used it. What is he suggesting about teachers? Maybe he's just showing that teachers have a certain role or title.

"Watch the class yawn for it's food." I love this quote from the text. In my opinion, students are sometimes fed so much information, often year after year, that goes in one ear and out the other. Anticipating the teachers giving us more work is just tiring. We all know it's coming, and we're all so comfortable with it in our own way.
