The book Revealing the Invisible was written by Sherry Marx, a formal teacher, who delved into the exploration of the racist beliefs of white female teacher education students. The book began with Marx talking about in-service teachers who focused on school children (ELLs) learning the English language. During this course she discovered how low her students' expectations were for ELL students. During her interviews she will explore more beliefs about white women and their thoughts on race, racism, whiteness and the children they taught. Whiteness was the first major topic she approached. He explains that whiteness is usually expressed by "illuminating the invisible," but most view this as normal rather than an indicator of white culture. Whiteness is something perceived by white people and usually considered “normal.” The norm for one person is obviously different from the next and Whiteness is almost like an advantage without even knowing it. The woman then described all the things that were normal for her growing up, such as her neighborhood, country club, or teams she was a member of. It is considered so normal because it is underestimated by white people who don't realize this advantage they have. White culture is not one entity, but rather a combination of diverse individuals who have little else in common other than skin color. The more Marx interviewed these women, the more he realized that they had a racial reaction. The racial reaction became evident the more the women talked about how they felt they were not part of a group. The women explained that they were not gay, blind or deaf and admitted that they were envious of the strong cultures held by other groups. They felt like it was something that tied these people together and the support that they had. ...... half of the paper ...... they deny seeing what they really don't see. Rather, they claim to be color blind when they try to suppress the negative images they attribute to people of color…” (1993, p.167) A quote that struck me and which I think sums up the way he represented his philosophy in his book . I think this quote explains how we as teachers have to work on ourselves much more than we really need to help these students and how it all starts with us. I could use this information to not only focus on the curriculum, but to focus on my teaching to see what I'm doing. I could focus on getting more feedback from teachers who overshadow my tutoring or teaching for constructive criticism. Am I discriminating against these students without even knowing it? Am I rewarding myself more for teaching than for helping students achieve the goal? As cliché as it is, I learned recently that we don't know what we don't know.
