"...that many families had abundant
knowledge that the schools did not know about--and therefore did not
use in order to teach academic skills. (Moll)Reaction:
The first thing that came to mind when I read this sentence was ignorance. Schools would be greatly benefited if the students were able to have an effect on the school, mainly diverse schools. Students bring traditions, heritages, and abilities that can be useful to school with them, but are unable to express these traits due to the "structure" of the school. The advantage that can be gained from if teachers used the experiences the students had would be great. One it would make the students feel useful and appreciated. Two, it could bring about unity and communication among teachers and students.
Using lifestyles and traits of kids to teach can help "build a better community"
