an easy remedy for a complex problem

I think that what Dr. Rogers referred to as the three G's would be a tough session. But any topic that has the student emotionally charged would be difficult. I would have to carefully pick my words so I didn't heat the topic any more than it needed to be.

Maybe we should follow our president's tactics on this topic. Maybe we should build a thirty foot tall wall around the writing center. A wall with verbs on the top as sharp as barbed wire, and dangling modifiers that we could swing at students attempting to climb the wall. This way we could regulate the students that came in the writing center and control the emotionally charged papers. I guess that is until students figured out how to get around that thirty foot wall. but hoefully by then we will hae enough tutors to take care of the situation.

The beauty of the thirty foot wall is we don't even have to say how we will build it - we'll just let the number crunchers handle that one.
