Unraveling Student-Teacher Discourse: Desconstructing Some Educational Beliefs

IMAGE: The image of some students with some broken discourse fragments and a light 
       so bright that all words become irrelevant and obscure.


Tim:     So many discourses romp through the heads of most teachers.

Melissa: Yeah, it takes many voices to be human.

Satoru:  Which voice should have ascendancy? I often wonder about that.

Liao:    Perhaps the way our DNA works is a good metaphor. At any given 
         point in time, only a small part of our genetic code is manifest. 
         And as environmental conditions change and organisms age, different 
         parts become expressed. 

Melissa: Hmm. It almost sounds as individual will is non-existent.

Liao:    Hardly - intention shapes the cycle significantly. However, when 
         we search for single factors to explain life, the gods start to laugh . . . .
