Expanding the Circle

Good article that really explains in-depth about how the curriculum in the schools can be negative for some students, and how the teachers aren't being blamed. I don't think that students of other cultures should be left behind while the other cultural students are flying by with passing grades. Its our jobs to make sure that all students are passing the classes and etc. You can think about some literature books that might be useful in teaching, learning and helping students with different cultural backgrounds. You can try to find an use hispanic, native, japanese, or etc. to better teach culture in classes, and have a better connection with you cultural students. All you really need t do as a teacher is open you mind and actually use you brain and think 'what could help?' Give it a try, you might surprise yourself. And if you can't think with you brain, then ask others; no shame in asking others. And if you can't do that then why are you wasting your time trying to be a teacher, get out of here and think.
