In the US classrooms, it is understood that a teacher will work with various cultures throughout his or her career. From finishing assignments, aiding students to participate in group work, and providing a safe classroom - it is part of a teacher’s obligation to understand who the student is, and how to best aid him / her to successfully complete the course.
One imperative aspect a teacher must consider when working in a classroom is the cultural difference a student may experience when interacting with their peers and authority. These obstacles include how a student responds to authority, the preference between group vs individual work, individualized study methods and interaction with peers. Although there are many learning disabilities that can be used to label “troubled” or “misbehaved” students, we must consider cultural factors which more than likely have an impact on a student’s performance.
