Looking at the "Others"

After reading the Kumashiro article, I have some concerns as a future educator, mostly in regards to the "now what" of the situation that as defined as problematic. I will say that his definition of the "others" is by no means a thin and narrow one(students of color, from under/unemployed families, female, underly masculine, and queer). In fact, if you put together all the students in a classroom(considering that we are being taught about urban education) I believe we will see that the "others" are no longer a minority but the majority. So as I asked before, "now what"? So who are we really marginalizing, when we realize that ALL students become the "other"?

    Hi Amber,
    Please make sure you get your blogs in before 9a.m. on Sunday; typically, I won't see it if you don't and then credit is lost. I just happen to do a second-look today and saw yours here, so not a problem for now.

    Thank you so much,
    Amy
