As the textbook points out, teachers must consider cultural differences when dealing with inappropriate classroom behavior. More specifically, teachers should remember that:
A) Some behaviors they think are inappropriate may be perfectly acceptable in another culture.
B) Many cultures place little value on the importance of education.
C) Students from some minority cultures will actively resist being taught in any language except their native tongue.
D) In most cultures, parents deal severely with children when they misbehave at home.
Question 2
In three of the following situations, ignoring a student's misbehavior might be the best approach to take. Considering the textbook's discussion of this strategy, in which situation would ignoring not be advisable?
A) Anita has whispered a juicy (and apparently very amusing) piece of gossip to her friend, who in turn is passing it along to two others.
B) Bill breaks a beaker and seems very remorseful that he has done so; he vows to be more careful in the future.
C) Cathy is usually very attentive in class, but today when the teacher asks her a question, it's clear that she hasn't been listening.
D) An entire class is excited about their spring break that starts tomorrow.
