A summary of Charles Demmer's English composition essay

The main idea of Charles Deeemer’s English composition as a happening is that he was trying to stress how rigid the educational system was in that time. Part of the academic disappointment he felt strongly about was the English composition. For example: “Thus the responsibility of English composition is great”. But by following the organization of content-coarse, English composition has suffered. Charles Deemer also believed that the educational experience should involve not just the teacher, but also the student. For example: “Fragmentation and lack of mutual participation by class and “teacher” (we need a new word) in a genuine educational experience constitute the disease, then a unified, joint experience should provide the remedy. Charles Deemer plainly puts his idea of a successful educational experience, and in the mean time manages to persuade his audience to agree with him.
