Malfeasance of Method: A Response to Goldenberg.

Sledge, Andrea Celine; And Others

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v19 n1 p48-51 Mar 1988

Claude Goldenberg's claim that there are compatibilities between minority children's home and school experiences is critiqued on the following points: (1) the methodology is not ethnographic; (2) home-school cultural compatibilities are not demonstrated; and (3) the model of literacy acquisition is not supported by current theory and research.
