41. In fact, Gee argues for a complex solution, one that involves changing the culture of higher education (admittedly a slow and unclear project), developing in students a kind of "meta-discourse" to frame literacy problems, and finally teaching students to "fake" the discourses of school. Delpit counters Gee's contention that secondary discourse fluency is impossible by noting that, in many cases, students accomplish it.
