Facts For My Mind

When I first signed up for bachelor of education I never realized what teachers have to put into perspective when they teach. Learning about diversities in education today made me realize that yes teachers do have to think about this on a regular bases while they are in the classroom and even outside the classroom when they're making their planning guide. We as future teachers need to put into perspective that each student comes to school with a different background and home environment. We need to try to relate where the student is coming from and what we need to do to teach them the material. Under cultural capital there was a trait mentioned about language. I never even thought about having a student in my future classroom who can barely speak english. I would need to think of a way to teach the child so he/she also has a fair chance at success. I've learnt that socioeconomic status is based on how much money you make which then ranks you in society. I find that odd that we do that in society. It seems strange to judge someone, I don't know it might just be me but I believe that no one needs to be labelled as the"poor one" or the "rich one", it just doesn't sit right with me. I'll have to accominate this information into my head.
