Description
One professor imagines the writing center as an editing service. Another person perceives it as a place to "teach fishing." Students perceive the writing center as sanctuary, as dust bin, as fix-it shop, as all kinds of things. Administrators may see it as part of retention programs or as an element of their CYA strategies. Sometimes the perceptions are pieced together from the semantics of the phrase "writing center." Sometimes they represent analogous thinking, a belief that the writing center is like a carwash with detailing service. Of course we writing center folks may roll our eyes at such ideas. But wait a minute. Some writing centers were and are in fact academic dustbins, editing services, and retention initiatives. Sometimes, we do teach grammar. Sometimes, we do help writers "detail" their resumes and personal statements. Faculty, when they were students, may have visited or been sent to labs and centers of one kind or another, so that they acquired concrete knowledge, outdated or not. Ideas about writing centers reflect specific experiences with them, good and bad, limited or significant. Our community's definitions, like everyone's, have been filtered through our own value systems, fears, lore, and aspirations.
