Response to Audre Lorde's essay

In her essay, Lorde illustrated that the librarian cared about her learning more than her actual teachers did. The librarian was kind and read to Audre even though she was acting out. Her other teachers on the other hand, ridiculed her for not following directions exactly, even when she had done more than she was asked, like when she wrote her whole name instead of just the letter "A." Also, the mother of perpetual help seemed to be inappropriately named, as she didn't help the students with their reading or learning numbers, she would simply put you in the racistly named good and bad groups if you could or could not read. She even ridiculed Audrey when she broke her glasses for being naughty and had the other children pray for her mother for having such a bad child. Audre's teachers didn't care about her or her educational progress, but the librarian did even though she didn't have to.
