"cultural deficit"

The final paragraph of this bio is so faulty that I am not sure it can be revised to standard. In any event, as the subject of the article I don't feel I should edit except on purely factual matters. The gist of the final paragraph makes me out to be an originator of something called here the "cultural deficit hypothesis," more commonly known as "cultural deficit theory." The term was already in use before I published on education of disadvantaged children. "Cultural deficit theory" is an imaginary theory in that there are no self-identified cultural deficit theorists and no body of literature upholding it. As far as I am aware, the term is only used polemically, usually as a foil to highlight the claimed superiority of "cultural difference theory" -- which is not a theory, either, but does express a notion that has explicit advocates. The issue, if there is one, is political, not theoretical, and the cited book, Teaching Disadvantaged Children in the Preschool, does not (contrary to the paragraph) stake out a "position" or enter into the political controversies surrounding education of disadvantaged children. It is a how-to-do-it book with introductory chapters justifying the pedagogy. To practical educators its main and most controversial innovation was the concept of "direct instruction" for young disadvantaged children. The statement "Bereiter has claimed that he was misread by his critics" is not documented and I do not recall ever having said it, although the paragraph in question does suggest misreading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CBereiter (talk • contribs) 00:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
