ABSTRACT
We usually use the term school as I have done in the title of this chapter: to conjure up images of students lined in rows upon rows of desks, books open, pencils sharp. Only when we are trying to be quaint do we use the term academy instead. But it is really only with the term academy that we can easily discern the common academic interests that join together the academic professionals we looked at in the previous chapter with the academic novices, the students, with whom we are concerned in this chapter. Deep down, both of these groups organize their lives around the reading and writing of academic texts.
