Prompt 3: Questions
for Dr. Payne
If you had
the opportunity to visit with Dr. Payne over coffee, what are two open-ended
questions you would likely ask her regarding the framework?
Questions 1: How would you, or could you discuss with your
students who grow up in generational poverty that they are not "owed"
anything? If their parents provide as role models for this thinking, it makes
it that much more difficult to get your students to see that hard work gets you
the things you need.
Question 2: In your text you constantly talk of the need to
teach the "Hidden Rules". What would be your first step in doing
that? I experience the same thing you discussed when in the school setting, that
students who are in poverty do not see it as being poor. Especially my students
since it is all they know. But yet parents are very open to tell you that they
don't have the gas money to come to school for a meeting. I know that they feel
they have more things to worry about than a meeting with teachers, but if you
are to teach that there are rules and these students don't realize that because
it is all they know; How would you approach that?
