I really like how Elise explains that Lester Faigley expresses the idea that students are now coming into the classroom sometimes with more knowledge about a particular idea compared to the teacher. It is an enlightening concept Faigley presents that teachers are no longer expected to fill the students with information. Teachers instead are given the chance to expand the already preexisting knowledge that the student already contains. Labeling students as authorities to the knowledge they have has been useful because the students become more productive when they are presented and encouraged with something they are familiar with.
