So much of our education reform is driven by a sympathetic approach, where people are saying, \"Let's go and help these poor inner city kids, or these poor black and Latino kids,\" instead of an empathetic approach, where someone like me, who had grown up in this environment, could say, \"I know the adversities that you're facing and I want to help you overcome them.\"
Reformasi pendidikan kita banyak didorong oleh pendekatan simpatik, di mana publik berkata, \"Ayo bantu anak-anak kurang mampu ini, anak berkulit hitam dan Latin yang miskin,\" alih-alih pendekatan empatik, di mana orang seperti saya, yang tumbuh di lingkungan ini, bisa berkata, \"Saya tahu kesulitan yang kalian alami dan saya ingin membantu mengatasinya.\"
