"I didn't care for the assumptions regarding "the average white teacher"--but then I work in schools where anyone who is white is a minority. What I did learn--look to the students to see what sparks their interest. I really don't like to view students through racial lenses, which is what this book is encouraging you to do."
"Ladson-Billing's book about the teacher prep program she and others started at U-W Madison to train teachers to work in diverse classrooms. It's a story about her own coming-of-age-as-a-teacher, too. The book bogs down in the stories of each individual student teacher and the challenges she faces, and although Ladson-Billings is a smooth writer, by the end of each chapter it's not clear what the point is. Thank goodness for the italics that let me know what it was supposed to be."
"required reading for a single subject credential course, i didnt really relate to most of the issues being dealt with by the student teachers being observed...on the other hand Other People's Children I really found to be pertinent."
