How Teachers Should Communicate

4. I suggest

I suggest that you check out his book Savage Inequalities; it thoroughly discusses the impact of under-funded, under-equipped schools serving children in poverty. If you're looking for another read, I'd check out Ruby Payne's Understanding Poverty.

I totally agree with Kozol that teachers need to adjust their language, not to make communication easier with other teachers, but to make it easier to deliver the messages they intend to teach to their students. Their language should match that of the age group they are teaching, in my opinion.
