Ms. Young works in a school that serves a very linguistically diverse student population. She wants to write a letter home to her fourth-grade students and their families before the school year begins. What recommendation do you have for her regarding this process?
a. Start early looking for people who can translate her letter into the languages spoken by her students' parents.
b. Send the letter home in English; non-native speakers often have a network of people who can translate for them.
c. Use an online translator that will automatically rewrite her letter into another language.
d. Send the letter home in English, with a note to the student, asking him or her to help their parents understand it.
Question 2
You want your students to get into the habit of using the restroom only at scheduled times throughout the day unless it is an emergency. You explain that the class will have regular breaks and that everyone should take advantage of them. Right after your social studies lesson on the third day of school, Tia, a very quiet girl, comes up to you and asks you if she can go to the restroom, despite the fact that the class took a break not long ago. The best thing to do in this case is
a. to remind Tia that she should have gone to the bathroom earlier, and that her discomfort is the consequence of a bad choice.
b. to tell Tia she should be able to make it until the next break, which will be in just twenty minutes.
c. to let Tia use the restroom, but to pay attention during subsequent class bathroom breaks, encouraging her to go then.
d. to stop the lesson and take the whole class to the bathroom.
