Gert Biesta astutely criticizes the politics of learning through which learning has been popularized and exalted. He offers a valuable critical diagnostics of this politics, but, I argue, his conclusions about 'going beyond learning' incriminate learning wholesale.

The results of this corpus-based study show that much of the collocational behaviour exhibited by these lexical items can be explained by examining…
