The Delpit text discusses the probems that students of other cutlures can have in school when teachers try to enfrce the use of Standard English, and they neglect to focus on how the culture from which these students came can have an affect on how they speak and write. I strongly believe that as teachers, it is our responsibility to instill within our students the rules of proper English and Grammer. However, we must not ignore and try to get rid of the students culture or heritage. Effective teaching will occur by being sensative to the different cultures from which each student comes from.
