Oxymoroning Education: A Poem about Actualizing Affect for Public Good
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
An intensely thought-provoking piece of writing.
I have a few minor comments:
- It may be just a formatting issue, however at times it was unclear to me as a reader where you were using direct quotations from other sources.
- There appears to be a mix of different referencing styles used throughout the article - e.g. see lines 170, 241, 252, 253, 255, 259 (and maybe others). This may just require some editing work.
- Check lines 314-316 for possible typos.

I have marked these more clearly: All quotes over 40 words have been made standing out RE APA 7 style

I have amended this to the best of my knowledge.

Yes, thank you for spotting this.
Reviewer 2 Report
Very interesting take.
Would not suggest to add the explanation of oxymoron in the abstract and provide more hands-on examples as not all readers might be familiar with the literary references you chose. Coining a verb and explaining the. relevance to the field of education in only one paragraph is bit quick for my taste (p2/47pp).
It remains unclear to me whether you refer to practices of describing practices of oxymoroning, let's say the doing or describe what is there, kind of assigning oxymorons as descriptors.
In my opinion more introduction is needed as to how you want to employ the concept. The paper is at times dense and to readers not familiar with educational philosophy - as myself - it will be very challenging to follow, especially as many concepts - time, ethics, etc. are being used while not all of these are being embedded.

I have expanded on this in both the introduction and in the article. I have also provided more examples.

I hope this is clearer now. I have written all my extensions, further explanations and examples in red.

The introduction is expanded and more explanations given.

Domination of the form above the content.
Vague and lenghy nature of argumentation, not fully adequate for a scientific paper.
Insufficient engagement with sources.
There are editorial and linguistic errors.
Low contribution to scholarship.
