which text?

When we learned about marginalized literature, I just realized that certain text do has ‘gender’. Teacher can’t just teach any text that they want to teach, they must consider the appropriateness to bring it to class, consider how the students might perceive it. As different gender of the teacher will bring different effect when they teach certain text that can be considered as sensitive issues. We had learned a poem, ‘becoming a women’, it is one example of the foregoing. A male teacher is not supposed to teach this poem in a class of female students, as it will make the students feel uncomfortable to discuss about it. therefore, it is important for teacher to choose a suitable –or right, text for the right students!
