Delpits sympathetic reading

After reading Lisa Delpits "Skills and Other Dilemmas of a Progressive Black Educator" I have come to conclude that she believes that it is the educators problem for why black students are not grasping the concepts of literacy as well as other students. Delpit describes the different styles of teaching and how different styles can reach students more than others. Throughout Delpits teaching years all she has been interested in was teaching in an untraditional way but she found that students were not understanding the material as well as when being taught in a traditional way. The problem with teaching in just one way is that other teachers are not willing to hear other ways of teaching and are unwilling to compromise in a teaching method. Black teachers find themselves to feel as though their voices are being hushed from non-minority educators. Therefore, until educators can come together and develop a style of teaching that works for all students, the students are the ones suffering.
