Culture in Educating Children

Remember Agatha from the Yupik dual language school: "it is our cultural responsibility to teach the language". Look up her story in Culturally Responsive Teaching

There is a very relevant quote that I CAN'T FIND! I think it was Lisa Delpit, and something about being surprised at a question about separating language and culture. She goes on to describe language as what a mother sings to her infant, etc. It was a beautiful quote, and I remember highlighting it, but alas, it seems to have disappeared...
