What would you do to make sure socio-economic backgrounds do not negatively affect your students?
With the recent economic recession more and more families are struggling. This affects all “classes” in the United States, as well as the rest of the world. So some middle class families are now in the lower class or poor class. So that means that students that used to have a roof over their heads and nice clean clothes and shoes don’t have those things anymore. Or these students have had to move from their houses into shelters or apartments. As a teacher you have to try and treat all the students the same no matter if they come from a rich family or a poor family. In my classroom I would do my best to treat every student equal. I would also try to help the students whose families have fallen on hard times. I know that some people may not want the help or are too embarrassed to accept the help, but I could offer it to them. I believe that as a teacher we are on the front lines and that we are the eyes and ears for the future. We make the difference. I know that we can’t help everyone but we can help some. For example, one of the classes I observed had a student in it that’s family has fallen on hard times. The teacher noticed this and had a bag of clothes sent home to this student’s family. It wasn’t much, but it helped this family. I believe that if you treat all the students the same and help the ones that need help you can make the students feel like they belong. That sense of belonging can help them do better in school and help them succeed. That is how I would make sure that the socio-economic background did not negatively affect my students.
