- Silencing voices: power issues

  • Unintentionally rudeness


The teacher asked the students who knew what a hypothesis was. The aboriginal student answered “an educated guess”. Without hearing the soft student’s voice, the teacher said: "A proposition assumed as a premise in an argument, we are not 100% sure about it but it is a reasonable explanation for something that occurred!”


Student 1 (commenting to students on his side): I thought hypothesis was an educated guess”.

Student 2: I think you are right. Repeat to her, I think she didn’t listen. Why don’t you repeat it to her?

Student 3: Repeat it, beg for her attention (laugh)

Student 1: I am not a credited voice…
