Both Elbow and Bartholomae make strong points towards academic discourse in its simplest form. Elbow explains that writing without teachers would begin a different kind of academia that is undefined within our writing system, while Bartholomae urges that we cannot move forward in the academic without teachers. The critical analysis of the two lies within these ideas, although Bartholomae takes the common approach to the academic Elbows “free writing” ideas are much more creative and different. Perhaps it is that there needs to be a teacher in the classroom, but that kind of constructive teaching much have its limits in writing.
