Culturally Diverse Classroom

Hey, what ya know good? I got to say that this is a pretty good guidebook that I think teachers really need to read when they are struggling with handling and teaching ESL Students. I think that a teacher really needs to get involved and not push away their ESL students because thats kind of the wrong thing to do. Teachers aren't suppose to ignore students just because the teacher can't stand the student. Its our job to help all of the students in our classrooms, even if that means helping out the annoying students that disturb the classroom. If a teacher is having problems communicating with any ESL student, get someone who can help you communicate better between you, the teacher, and the ESL student. If you need an interpretor then ask the principal to allow you to bring an interpretor who can definitly help teacher have better communication with their ESL teachers. If you can't get an interpretor, then learn the students language then. We live in a country with more Hispanics in this country than any other culture with a different language. Learn the language if you need better communication between you and your ESL student. If you don't want to learn the how to have a better communication and understanding with your ESL students then don't become a teacher (and if you already are, quit then and quit wasting time in the classroom then.) Do ESL students need full attention in the classroom, its impossible because you need to help all the students in your classroom. But, you should take the time to get to know your students, ESL students included. I don't think that ESL students need full-time support because they feel segregated in schools, because there are other students, white, black, asian, native, indian, and etc. that feel segregated in schools. I know because I use to be one of those segregated students in school, and there were other students just like me. I just wish that teachers took an interest in us back in school and not toss us away like trash when we had problems with homework, school and other students, sports and etc. You, the teacher, can't just focus on hispanic students, you need to focus on all students of ever color. I know that this is a blog about hispanic, but I felt like I should just say something. Overall, great guidebook that can really help teachers think of ways to have better understadings and communication between them, the teacher, and their students.
