Perspective

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine the other night on the issue of teaching. We were discussing as a minority where do you stand when you are teaching. Meaning what perspective are you coming from? I know people will say teaching comes from one place and that is from the Greek ideas of what teaching is and where it all stems from.

As Minority people , working class people is there a place to stand from that is outside the Western view of teaching? and being able to teach from that place?

thanks
