Peter elbow is all about the writing experience on ones own, when Bartholomae believes in academic writing using teachers to form a concrete knowledge of how to write and the processes that go along with it. Bartholomae talks about how without teachers people would just follow main stream society and not develop a sense of there own writing and individualism. he feels that students should be taught the fundamentals. Bartholomae argument was strong and made it look like peter elbow didn't know what he was talking about.he called peters was foolish.

whats makes Bartholomae think that a teacher should make students write a certain way when they should develop there own style

why cant there be a mixture of both styles to create a master form of teacher/letting the students follow there own voice
