Culturally Responsive Classrooms-I think it's so important to be aware of the many different cultures. Before I read this chaper I thought of culture as only being based on ethinicity and religion. I found it interesting that their is a surface culture, deep culture, a school culture and mismatched cultures. I like the idea of giving your student choices. I need to work on this. My personality is to be controlling. I see it with my own children. I'ts my way or no way. I learned that literacy is not just through books, it can be through a computer, comic books, or knowing how to read a map. I don't agree with the fact that if a student's culture does not match their school culture they're less likely to succeed. I understand that it's going to take awhile to adjust but I think that anybody is able to conform/learn as long as they're given the chance to.
