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!) I think that Juan will learn and adapt to the new culture eventually. I know he may seem rude to girls in his classroom or his female teachers, but that is what he has been taught for the last 13-14 years of his life. I completely understand Juan's situation because I am also an immigrant and I had to adjust to many things that was not used to. All I can say is to give him some time to understand the new culture and its rules.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't think this is a good solution because it says that Juan will eventually adjust to the culture in the United States. I think that the teacher should explain the basic gender differences between the culture in El Salvador and in the United States.

As long as the student is not actively harassing or hurting anyone, he will start to understand the different views in this country compared to his own.
