I have to share this one. It's just too ... too ... I don't know what to call it, except it's not clear English.
The text I edited today included a sentence ending,
"…there has been a trend away from deficit perspectives in terms of viewing students' cultural practices from home and community toward
using these cultural practices as an instructional resource."
I thought about it for a while, mostly trying to figure out what it meant, and then replaced the words "deficit perspectives in terms of viewing"
with "negative views of."
