Delpit reading

After reading Lisa Delpit's " Skills and other dilemmas of a Progressive Black Educator", it made me realize that even though some ways of teaching is excellent for others it may not be good for some. Although I already knew this concept some where in my sub consciousness, it almost brought it into prospective. Delpit really wanted to be a non traditional black teacher she wanted to use what she learned to benefit the black children. Couldn't most people sympathize with her? Don't most if not all teachers want to take what they have learned in school and use it to better educate and help those that they teach?...For some reason this is sounding more critical...Maybe I just don't understand what a sympathetic reading is. O well...On we go...Throughout her story she shows the reader that she understands others teaching styles, but she rather her own. It's almost like she is saying to each their own but my way is better. Although through the story she tells the readers the difference of people. Some are fluent and some have skills. When Delpit realizes that her open teaching does not work for all children because all children are different, she finds herself becoming more like the black "traditional" teachers. I'm glad that she found that all students learn differently and that she was able to accommodate all children.
