You offer a unique perspective as a result of being raised in the area and no doubt have some feelings on the issues raised in this article. As an SLP serving a student in the regular education classroom, my tendancy was to assume that the author was speaking of oral language as the area of concern that could be fostered in this population. I usually seperate oral from written language as the demands for expressing yourself in each are so different. I absolutely agree that we need to respect individual culture but I do see a need for the two students that I work with to learn the tools required for success in the class and ultimately in the work force. We have discussed in class that there are several ways to contribute to a learning community and classroom discussion is one of those ways. Oral communication does not seem to be the preferred mode for many of our peers but that does not mean that it should not be expected when appropriate. I think that ultimately the author gives good strategies that should be applied to all students. I enjoyed reading your insight into the article and appreciate the contribution you have made to my learning in this program! Camden,
