Three things that have stuck with me

First off, something that has stuck with me has been Sleeter so far. I think about Sleeter because they talk about how minority groups are explained in textbooks and I don't agree with the way they are being perceived and taught in schools because that's what I want to teach, I want to teach history and the way you can tie any minority group to something in a textbook is not acceptable. 

My second thought would be Rodriquez and how he progressed in English and spoke and wrote less Spanish until it was a thing of the past and the kids in my SL classroom I feel is happening to them as well. They are six and seven years old and already don't know every Spanish word I mean they have an Elementary Spanish level and now with language usually not being taught until middle school, Spanish is going to be a thing of the past for them as well I fear, as it was the same for Rodriquez 

My last piece is about Shalaby and the troublemakers presented and how they are deemed unfit to learn in a classroom environment. There is one kid in my SL classroom who is exceptionally smart and is always looking to call out and answer questions but is silenced and reprimanded for his behaviors when his voice is silenced and is unable to express his learnings.
