Title: African American Children was the subject of her book
Review: I am a college student majoring in education and I was reading this book for a class. I enjoyed reading this book for enjoyment purposes only. Dr. Ladson-Billings talked about her subject indeed. But I have to disagree with her when she talks about teaching African American children in a different way. First of all it would make them think that they (we) are always supposed to be treated in a "different" manner and secondly where would this exist? Utopia!! If we stop separating children, then maybe our problems will get solved. But, trying to teach one group this way and another group another way only creates problems for students as well as teachers. Furthermore, where will we find this PERFECT teacher? We are becoming a melting pot and therefore strategies for teaching one set of people one way will soon become obsolete.
Is the review positive or negative?
