Hi all!!
My name is Rebecca and this is my last class, completing my Master's in Special Education. I currently teach middle school self-contained special education, grades 5-7. When I am not working at the school, I am at the gym or waiting tables at a waterfront restaurant. I am constantly on the go!
Hi Rebecca, I found Delpit's article difficult to read as well. Compared to Johnson's piece, his was eye catching and very interesting. Maybe it was how she wrote it or the language she used? I also used argument as my focus. At first, I felt like she pointed and viewed white people as being the soul reason to racial issues in the classroom. But as you read on she made excellant points about the teaching in classrooms and how white people should be more aware of the cultures in their classroom. I like your point about, "Having to understand your students, knowing there strengths, weaknesses and how they learn. Here teachers should create lessons that touch upon all their students, creating a successful lesson." Very true.
