Assessing Your Essay Author's Rhetorical Situation

Lisa D. Delpit is an African-American Scholar in education who is writing "Education in a Multicultural Society" in an informative and precise way. She uses personal experience to show that students, depending on their background, need different styles of teaching and that their teachers need to recognize this. The teachers need to understand the students lives outside of the classroom to determine what their abilities are.
The audience, mainly teachers and upcoming teachers, are very open when reading this and are wanting to understand and be informed of the difference in backgrounds and how to go about teaching them.
The whole purpose is this text is to show that teachers often take things how they see it, meaning they do not go into a deeper meaning or understanding of the students life outside of the classroom. They are stereotyping children depending on their ethnicity and background - asian students are perfect and don't need help with learning, black students are a lost cause and won't learn much because of where they live and how they were raised, white students get the most attention because they are white and dominant, Indian students are very quiet and keep to themselves in the classroom, and Latino students don't really care to be there at all. This stereotyping needs to be understood by the teachers and addressed in certain manors. Delpit uses examples from personal experience and the examples of people she knows personally to give the reader a better understanding and to show that what she is writing is very factual.
This is all taking place in today's generation. This is happening in our communities wherever we may live in the United States.
