I'm Not a Communist, a Liberal, or a Whole Language Teacher (and I Don't Beat My Wife).
Dudley-Marling, Curt
Talking Points, v10 n2 p14-16 Apr-May 1999
Discusses the label of "whole language teacher" and expresses that the author's concern about being named one is based on his sense that names matter; he worries about who is doing the naming and for what purpose. Concludes that whole language is needed as a way of creating community to support all those language teachers who "teach against the grain." (SG)
