Sympathy for Delpit

My understanding of this article was that Delpit suggests that school systems cannot rely solely on skill based learning(traditional drill based learning and specifically in this article grammar and writing protocol was mentioned) or progressive "fluency" based learning (it doesnt matter what your work looks or sounds like as long as its your own voice because you're special), a compremise should be reached. It also seems to suggest that she believes black and white children need different training.

Really I dont know what else to say, since I have no opinion here, and no deep insight to offer, I'm just spitting back out what i read.
