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!)
I would talk to administration to see what they would do first because you don't want to offend him in any way. It might be best if you just ask him to put them away since the class doesn't have another copy. |

Comments: I don't know how well an administrator could help you with a cultural matter. it may be best to contact your schools ESOL/LEP teachers or paraprofessionals. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I would not want to tell the student that he is "wrong" because that is the culture in which he was raised in and that is what he was raised to believe. Even though we may not see it like that here in America, we cannot condemn him for what he has been taught. I feel that the simple solution of talking to administration and asking him to kindly put the books away because there is not one for every student is a good idea. |

Comments: having him put it away because the rest of the class does not have a copy is best. |
