  Case: Culture in the classroom
I have an idea of bringing culture into my classroom with different foods and celebrations from around the globe each week. Would this be a good idea, or do you think it would clog up the already hefty curriculum we need to follow? Explain and share ideas.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that this is a great idea to promote knowledge of cultural diversity. However, I would be sure to make the serving and eating of food as non-intrusive to the learning environment as possible. Especially if this is a weekly event, it should be done on the same day every week with students specifically instructed on which order to go up and get food in the beginning, and a specified time for plates and silverware to be disposed of (either have everyone wait until the end of class, or quickly finish the food and have everyone throw trash away at the same time). I would avoid allowing students to get up in the middle of instruction to dispose of materials, as it will be distracting to other students.

Comments: I would never do this! This is wrong! This doesn't sound like a very memorable learning experience for the students at all. They may come out of it feeling like robots.
