Three Quotes
"Work tasks do not usually request creativity. Serious attention is rarely given in school work on how the children develop or express their own feelings and ideas, either linguistically or in graphic form."
What this quote is saying is that middle class schools they are not really looking to see who you are and what you could be they are only trying to prepare you for what is expected of you. The do not feel as if you will go any higher than you already are.
""There is no language arts textbook because, the teacher said, "The principal wants us to be creative." There is not much grammar, but there is punctuation. One morning when the observer arrived, the class was doing a punctuation ditto. The teacher later apologized for using the ditto. "It's just for review," she said "I don't teach punctuation that way. We use their language."
The want to set up a platform for them, saying they are part of greatness and expected to do more. The want them to explore what is not just around them but what they can do with what is around them.
""I'm more--just as interested in how you set up the problem as in what answer you find. If you set up a problem in a good way, the answer is easy to find."
They focus more on what is in your brain and developing it because they want to explore what they do. They are already put on a pedestal for greatness.They just want to give them room to grow into what they can be, the belief in them is already grounded.
