[quote=Anonymous]I am a white woman who teaches in a "majority minority" high school. weird wording right? I think it's insulting to hold these classes, as it's just another way to stigmatize a group of children. ALL kids benefit from interactive lessons. Engaging lessons include closely monitored group work where students are given roles as a way to ensure that EVERYONE participates. Once the structure is down, you can begin to work in criticial thinking skills by including material that is oftentimes controversial (the best!), timely, and w/in their grasp. I am disgusted by these "courses." While I love learning about other cultures and am aware of cultural norms (fasting during Ramadan, for example), I don't understand how learning factors into this picture. [/quote]
