She remarked on the lack of structure in her work--that is, she was assigned to teach a class called Computer Journalism--given a classroom full of computers and youth, and essentially was told to figure out what "computer journalism" might be. She made no representation that she knew Jack about journalism.
No matter how well she creates that course, of course, if one of her pupils moves somewhere else and is enrolled in "computer journalism" there, they would find that the course was quite different--and even the similarities would be taught in a different sequence so that some things would be skipped and others would be duplicated. Your tax dollars at work.
But of course the basic problem is to sell the course to the pupils and the parents thereof.
I suggested that "computer journalism" might very well be web logging. Web publishing is IMHO "the press" grown up--since it very economically places my thoughts and yours, as we care to publish them, in the public domain. We can't all be Jayson Blair and get paid to write fiction for the NYT, but we can all try to make cogent arguments in favor of our own opinions and post them.
