Dyson hoped to illustrate social, symbolic and ideological challenges throughout this reading along with helping educators communicate with their students. The teacher in this reading wants the children to convert their own textual experiences into newer, complex social, symbolic, and ideological challenges (page 326). Can you give explanation and examples on how Dyson does so throughout this reading? Is it important for children to expand on these ideas throughout education?
On a different stand point, learning literacy is crucial to a child’s development. Once it is introduced, it is expanded in so many different levels. The reading says that children learn through their own participation in the practices of their everyday life (page 328). Should teachers be allowed to disrupt (in a positive or negative way) the child during their practices to reinforce them? Would your answer be beneficial for the child in their future education years?
