From the first day of class until the last day, all of the work has been meaningful. The conversations were impactful and new authors having similar conversations as I were introduced.
Delpit " the unspoken rules" The way I have always felt like there are just things I did not pick up and felt left out in, yet no one spoke about it because so many assume it's common knowledge. How rules work for those who know it and how it impowers them. These rules make it easy to point out the foreigner, how we continue to uphold this power every time we just watch people learn the rules and not teach them.
Rodriguez- Even though he was big on integration and assimilation. What he wrote about is a huge part of my story. Spanish is a secrete language that so many are pushed to let go of in the name of being American enough to do better for the family. He had times he wishes to have gotten both worlds and the loneliness of it. I feel like she sided because it's difficult to feel like you not enough on either ends of the world around us.
Hehir, Toward Ending Ableism in Education- The family that I worked with for years is the reason why this topic is important to me. The families I have watched fight for their child's education and importance to humanity is heart breaking. We can easily change so much but fail to because we focus on the disability and not the integration of the person and society accepting them where and how they are. Especially with autism and wanting to have them mask enough so that they are a part of the working sad, lonely, able body people.
