Rigormotification

Dear American Literati and Colleagues Across the
Curriculum (Courses W/O Borders or Order series)

 “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” T? F?
" That government which governs least governs best? T? F?


Sample Walden. Read Civil Disobedience.  Pick a passage that
 provokes and respond.   ( My assignment for this 13 th week.)
 
RIGOR?  I think not

Recall that the word “school” (Latin: schola) means “leisure.”
 
Nevertheless, I hear colleagues and students, too, assessing
the quality of a class/course in terms of RIGOR—the gold
standard. Last class, Cody Jasmine was describing a father
who was concerned whether the college might be rigorous
enough for his daughter.
 
I have made a career crucifying my credibility playing the
fool trying to make a monkey out of RIGOR—to no avail.
Like throwing rice at a rhino. A rigor-rhino: thick hide,
twitches a tail from time to time, cocks an ear, scrunches a
shoulder.

Rigor Mortis as far as I'm concerned & it's been an un-
postponed joy tweaking the beast. some civil disobedience
and a crime against convention no doubt..
            
Look: the emperor’s  butt:
some rigorous bare ass
cover-up

May we argue?  Just a little?
Leisurely. Schola-ship?

xxxooo, Sam
