Whose voice matters?


Who gets heard? That is what I keep thinking about whenever in conversation about teacher inquiry and research. For the longest time, it has been the voice of the university that has dictated the day-to-day practices of "ordinary" people. The universities have been the epicenter of society, further perpetuating the notion that the elite class and male voice is paramount to all others. This does not exclude the educational system. The classroom and schools are just a mirror of the larger society. What kind of schools are we making?
