The point of the paper is... well, it isn't. The structure of the class and the expectations of the elite are that papers are more exploratory than absolute--yes, it's as strange as it sounds, and yes, I'm having an extraordinarily difficult time adjusting my writing to it. In that regard, the paper explores the various assumptions built into the Knowledge and Employability curriculum and the roles that educational stakeholders (teachers, students, parents) are expected to play as a consequence and the impact this has for them as well as for the milieu within which this is all occurring. We'll talk about it when you get back, yes? That’s the intro (or, really, more of a prologue), verbatim. The point of the paper is… well, it isn’t.

We’ll talk about it when you get back, yes?

Slick. Also, good use of the word 'piss' in a formal paper. I'll admit, though, I'm a bit fuzzy on the nature of your _a priori_ objection here. What, exactly, was the thesis of your paper?
