QR for 'Fires in the Bathroom' -Chapter 7

Chapter seven discusses the importance of allowing constant revisions, feedback, and using different ways to approach the subject you wish to convey to the students. One of the sections I really kind had to jump back at was when the student writers suggested that the teacher tell the students that they are learning alongside the students, and they have some areas they don't know as well as others. Any other time in the past I would have automatically assumed that that would be like committing professional suicide, because if the students were to get wind that you really didn't know the area as well as you could, they would jump on that and use that as a crutch. I found it interesting that it would be more likely that the students would feel more comfortable with a teacher who learns with their students, because then it's like they aren't pressured to know everything right away because the teacher doesn't.
