Fairbanks, Crooks, and Ariail
I can connect this reading to Kozol and Rodriguez, it is another story of how a child is growing up in a school system and they speak or act with their nature culture or tongue. Society views on people that have different cultures isn't the best in my mind, so for a student to try and change their culture and them selves to fit in, they would probably view that as accepting. While in the process they are forgetting their fist language or their first religion, etc. This reading is just another example of how a student that is in an ESL system/school and are forgetting their old views and learning new ones.
I feel that they should have teachers in the ESL class rooms like they do at my school at Broad Street Elementary that can speak many languages. That way the teacher may have the same cultural or language background as the students and they are able to understand their students and teach them new languages and cultures through their native tongue. Well so they don't forget their first language and culture. When I went into my ESL classroom on my first day, I felt as though my teacher had no clue what was going on all she was doing was yelling at the students. No one was learning anything. So it is really important to know some good tips while teaching in an ESL Classroom.
