 Other People's Children, Lisa Delpit examines the concepts of privilege, power, and authority in learning environments like classrooms. Delpit emphasizes how unequal power affects both sides equally. Those in charge, such as principals and teachers, frequently fail to see it, while kids, who lack that authority, are acutely affected. This raises a warning sign for teachers to identify and deal with these kinds of problems in the classroom. Teachers frequently have authority and power in the classroom, but few people are aware of the influence this can have over pupils—a fact that kids are acutely aware of. Delpit emphasizes that ignoring these power dynamics will widen the gulf in the partnership. Teachers must understand the power they possess, particularly when it comes to forming bonds with their students. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, either by simply having high expectations for them or by incorporating their cultural background. Students are more likely to a...

 Deeply ingrained cultural ideals and beliefs that frequently disregard the comeon sence are the root of ideological tyranny  . These concepts, such as the notion that boys and girls should behave and look a specific way, ( how society wanted them to be or how they were seen) These concepts, such as the notion that boys and girls should behave and look a specific way,  which to me seems silly because just because you act one way or dress another That doesn't make you less,Furthermore, despite the fact that gender is not determined by color, there is a misperception in society that blue is connected to boys and pink with girls.  Ideological, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized are the four l's of oppression.

It does make a lot of sense, but I had never really given it much thought how affluent people's protective reactions hinder the advancement of society.  In short, as Johnson explains, if we do not recognize ourselves as the problem, we cannot become the solution. Which for me seemed very important because I feel that many people do not see it this way. By connecting the lessons from S.C.W.A.A.M.P. to...
