Innocent and Not-So-Innocent Contributions to Inequality: Choice, Power, and Insensitivity in a First-Grade Writing Workshop.

Deshon, Jo Anne Pryor

Language Arts, v74 n1 p12-16 Jan 1997

Describes a first-grade teacher's research in her own classroom, and shows how an apparently minor decision contributed greatly to inequality, unintentionally giving an already privileged group of students more knowledge and power, and decreasing the opportunities for knowledge and power of an already oppressed group of students.
