As the textbook points out, we must consider cultural differences when we deal with inappropriate classroom behavior. More specifically, we should remember that:
a. some behaviors we 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
Planned, systematic interventions are most often recommended as means of dealing with misbehaviors when:
a. the misbehavior is relatively mild in nature.
b. the student's parents say that the behavior occurs at home as well.
c. the behavior continues to interfere with a student's classroom performance despite other interventions.
d. a student wants to improve his or her behavior but doesn't know how to go about doing so.
