As I was reading Lisa Delpit's book, I couldn't help but think of Nathan Price in the Poisonwood Bible even though I haven't finished the book yet. Delpit says, "We all carry worlds in our heads, and those worlds are decidedly different. We educators set out to teach, but how can we reach the worlds of others when we don't even know they exist?" This reminded me of Nathan Price because he never tried to learn about the culture or lives of the Congolese people. He just tried preaching at them rather than to them. As teachers I think we have to consciously keep ourselves from falling into this trap. What are your thoughts on this?
