educationr-1899	Bishop, Jesse	Review of Retention & Resistance: Writing Instruction and Students Who Leave	2015	10	.pdf	application/pdf	2969	124	48	Powell explains, “The problem of failure is at the murky center of the issue of student retention...when we talk about students who are ‘at risk,’ we are talking about students who are at risk for failure” (p. 83, original emphasis). After framing the discussion and encouraging readers to take note of the language of retention efforts, Powell takes readers through four chapters that offer a brief-but-thorough history of retention, a critical analysis of the language of retention, an exploration of the notion of failure in business and academic contexts, and an evaluation of the impact of retention efforts on writing instruction and instructors.	cache/educationr-1899.pdf	txt/educationr-1899.txt
