I will be using Lisa Delpit's "The Silenced Dialogue: Power and Pedagogy in Educating Other People's Children" and "Aria" by Richard Rodriguez to discuss the importance of making the nursing office and all health documents accessible to MLL students and their families to the school nurses in my district.
A summary of the chapter "The Silenced Dialogue: Power and Pedagogy in Educating Other People's Children" by Lisa Delpit, discusses how power affects education, especially for marginalized students. Delpit explains that teachers, often from privileged backgrounds, might unintentionally favor certain students. She also points out that what teachers teach and how they teach might not consider the experiences of marginalized students in their classrooms. Delpit recommends that teachers listen to and respect the ideas of these students while also teaching everyone about how power works.
A summary of the reading “Aria” by Richard Rodriguez, tells his own story, describing how it felt to grow up speaking both Spanish and English in the USA. He talks about adapting to American culture while still holding onto his Hispanic roots. One significant change was when his family started speaking more English at home, which made him feel distant from them. This made him feel torn between fitting in outside and feeling connected at home. Rodriguez struggles with his identity as he tries to blend into American culture while staying true to his Hispanic background. Language plays a huge role in shaping who he is and where he belongs in society. Through his story, Rodriguez shows the emotional journey of adjusting to a new language and culture.
