After reading the article on Sponsors of Literacy, I wondered who my sponsors of literacy were. I thought about my parents for putting me through school and now through college so that one day I can take full care of myself, my teachers for teaching me how to do those things and succeed at them, and society in general for requiring such great skills and assets from me in order to be successful in the future. However, all three groups had their own intentions. My parents in order to raise me well enough to take on the world, my teachers in order to do their jobs and do them well for their own benefit, and society for increasing that class gap and making economic gain through education and training in order for individuals such as myself to become more “literate.”<\/p>\n
So, who are your sponsors of literacy? What do you believe were their intentions when they “sponsored” you? Were they good or bad intentions? Who benefited more from this “sponsorship?” What does that sponsor mean to you now? Do you believe that Brandt’s idea of “Sponsors of Literacy” holds true in your life?<\/p>\n
I feel as if all of us will have very different experiences, and thus very different answers to this question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
