Reflection
This reading was really dense and confused me at first but for the parts that I understood, it was shocking to see the culture of power written out. I feel like we all know these things exist but to see them in a reading with examples was really interesting. These 5 points that Delpit touched upon really made me think about my own schooling experience because there really was so much power that the teachers had over us and there was these rules that aren't really said put loud but everyone is just expected to follow them. This made me think back to a teacher I had in fifth grade who really enjoyed the power she held over us and was very mean and strict even though we were just children. She once wrote me up for something that was very stupid but she did it just because she was the one in charge and she was able to write me up.
