Diversity

Diversity is such a huge deal to me and it seems to be getting over looked more and more every day in the school systems and society itself. Every individual is different and every student is different and come from all different cultures and backgrounds. I want to be the teacher that realizes this and excepts this is how it is and let the student be proud of who they are. Kids can be so cruel these days as we have seen with all the bullying going on in the schools and on-line. I feel like the teachers can change a lot of this by stepping in and giving some advice and really being there to listen to the students. Not all students are just going to fit in, so make the curriculum where they can fit in a little better and maybe teach the rest of the class something new that they had never been introduced to before. Bring a wide variety to the curriculum in order to better serve the entire class.
