hows this relate to soka?

So i would like to preface this post with the fact that I was unable to access the correct reading on ERIC document ts for what ever reason. In any case i hope to share my thoughts on the 'Othermother' readings.

I four d this form of writing to be an interesetning change of oae com our very analytical readings we have had recently. I felt the writing of the author was very easy to read and omprrehend and also presented the quotes from authors in a easy to understand waqy. I might go as far to say that this reading was in a sense ''student-centered' in that as a technical piece it lent to easily being understood by an outsider.

The idea of othermothering which is presented in Guiffrida's piece is discussed at the later half as a ulturak phenomena within African American ommu ities. I felt kuke this kind of mutual caring and support is something that we find at sokoa. I would not help to think about tahers I have had over the years who have had a positive impact on me in such thatntyeynoffered moral, areer, diretional and all other kind of support. I have never considered the eth iity dynamics between the people who have been a large part of my university learning career. Looking back on my academic career, most of my teachers were white males or females, excluding my Asian language orofssorw. I noticed, when looking bak, I can see how a ethnic connection allows for more support from teachers. I also notice that in my life, the recognition of the exceptional support is notneessariky about ethnicity but a shared cultural understanding.

I appreiat whenever a teacher is receptive to hearing my concerns. I appreciate any support in making professional connections beyond school, but I also value learning how to make those connections on a deeper level. I an also empathize how the sense of being expected to hold up to a higher standard can be unnecessarily difficult, and oppositly very encouraging. While the on text for my own life is not one in reference to a ethnic variable, I consider any attempt of the teacher to understand the struggle of the student to be emoowering. When a student, at least myself, feels like the person teaching me cares about who I am, I striv harder to do my best.

His sense of othermothering is something that I recognize in Makiguchi's theory of soka education. While jot explicitly expressed as a tenant of soka education, the practice of caring for the people who are economially unfortunately are are for. At soka the is a sense of tohermothering that ones out btween classmates and within the university-alumni relations.
