Talking point 3 (pg 15-18)

I like the idea of a multicultural education. The passage I found most important was when she was answering a question on how a teacher could teach a multicultural education. "You don't have to fill your head with little details about what other cultural groups eat and dance. You need to take a look at your culture, what your idea of normal is, and realize it is quite limited and is in fact just a reflecting a particular experience." (Page 17). I really liked her answer on that. It is true that when we think of our own culture and another culture, we think that what they do is very different from what we do. Though what they do is really not as different if you really thought about it. Maybe what we do and another culture do can be similar, but just done in a different kind of way, or technique. People have different styles of creating something, but it's no different from still creating a product. It will still come out the same. The fact that a multicultural education is just not based on appearance, but the acts of the individual student, is what I like, because nowadays what people see is what the tend to judge on. Though to call on the student, hear the answer and judge them then, is what I call a great education. We all have different perspectives.
