The Politics of Teaching literate Discourse

By reading this article by Lisa Delpit, I wasn't able to understand the article to well. But i agree with it, that teachers need realize about discourse. Teacher must know about students back round, so then they can understand there students better. In the area they are lacking in by knowing their back round, where they come from a teacher would be able to help them better. It gives a lot of examples where teacher paid attention to there students, then the students did much better in the class room. Example of a student who wasn't getting admission in to med school, by paying close attention to him one year. Next year same student was accepted in to med school.
