The critical pedagogy reader

This article was fairly dry, but informative. One of the things that stood out was the culture aspect. As teacher candidates we know that we have to incorporate different cultures, however, as much as we try to have different cultural aspect into our classroom, we don't take into account how different cultures think, and work out problems. We don't think about how the different cultures learn or educate. Or even how they feel about who holds the power in a classroom.

I also thought the part about the hidden curriculum was interesting, how students learn more then just what we intend them to learn. They learn about social situations and in the article it talks about sexism. Although, I feel the sexism isn't as bad anymore, at least I never felt that way in school. It does give me something to think about while i'm working in my classroom.
