Case: Cultural Diversity
Juan is from EL Salvador and is new to his 8th grade middle school. He brings in several books from his from his 8th grade class t hat are from EL Salvador. The books have gender defamation statements towards women. In his culture women are submissive and secondary to males. How do you explain to Juan that the culture is different in the United States without restricting his beliefs?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While this is a real problem, Juan was socialized differently. He needs lessons that will help him to understand the culture that he is nonliving in. You can start by letting him know that the books he is taking with him to school won't be required for the class. The communication will have to include the parents also, since the practice may seem o.k at home. They should know that while you embrace cultural diversity, there are some practices that are deemed inappropriate for the current setting. |

Comments: I agree that communicating with the parents is important. In this case it would be great to let the parents know about the student bringing this book to class, and that it is best for the student to keep it at home. |
