Classroom Talk: 3/17/2019 - What most of us take for mostly innocent “social conversation”... is far from that; we’d be better off seeing these dialogues – including what drives them – for what they are in reality: a “cover-up,” where the real reason behind any compulsive chattering – with others, or in “talking things over” with ourselves –...
