Getting Clearer

As one reads more and more into WWW the message and construct of the book becomes clearer. Chapters 7 to the end actually deal with the different ways of learning. I found the comparison between the ways townspeople and Trackton and Roadville inhabitants learn. One thing, I think, that runs right through this research is that the way people learn is highly dependent on their upbringing. I am also happy that Shirley Heath highlights that and also shows how, given this knowledge, researchers and teachers are constantly faced with the task of learning the different ways of learning of different sets of people. The discussion of Black English and Standard English also proved quite interesting. However, the big question is how do we get ethnographers and teachers to accept their opacity and position themselves to learn about peoples' different forms of learning?
