I too was surprised at some of the inaccuracies within her work. I felt as if I had been misled even though I had never read any of her books or heard her speak. I think when I blogged immediately after reading the article I was feeling a little negative towards Ruby Payne, but now after having some time to marinade in my thoughts I think I would like to further explore and research about her and her work to make a more educated decision.

I was a new teacher and had a lot of other things on my plate...it just seemed so overwhelming. Through the years, I have heard wonderful things about her and her theories for helping those students who live in poverty. I cannot say at this time how I feel about Ruby Payne...I have only read that one article by Bohn and I have not read her book. More research is needed on my part to compose my own opinion. If, based on my research, the article that I read is true, then I only hope her intentions aror were good...for the sake of our students.
