In this book, Delpit will analyze contemporary classrooms. She came up with the idea that a teacher could become a better "cultural communicator" in the classroom. In the classroom there are many prejudices, stereotypes, and cultural assumptions that make ineffective education. Delpit argues that many of the academic problems of colored children are actually misunderstandings, mainly imbalances between "white children" and "white children", and the power and power struggle that afflicts our educational system I believe it is the result of.

Delpit offers some very powerful examples of educational reform. Many of these ideas come from her own experience or experience all over the world. She visited New Guinea and Alaska to check their educational system. Her idea is focused on the fact that many "white people" teachers do not know that they are anxious about teaching "other children", African American, Native American, and other cultures I'm counting on you. Because the idea of ​​her book is closely related to the identity as an African American and her own educational experience, the ideas and theories she suggests in books may be somewhat biased. However, she still has a number of perspectives on education, especially the ability of teachers to learn and apply literacy skills from their classrooms. Teachers need to check how they help or hinder minorities and low income students in the classroom and teach them the hidden rules of school society.

Delpit considers the classroom to be a culture of power, who decides who to talk about, who is smart, who decides who to learn most. In my opinion, this is what happens in today's traditional classroom. Our teaching only provides a unilateral and intelligent way. We teach our children that we must obey this mindset in order to be competent. In the classroom, reactive guidance is not necessary. Students will produce the results we need, so what can we answer? However, I know that it is not so. As students demonstrate cultural literacy in various ways, Delpit offers a solution. "If you are not yet participating in the culture of power, please clearly tell them that this rule of culture will make it easier to acquire power" (p.24, 2006). I must take action
