Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

a. Schools typically run on a rigid time schedulea time to be at school, a time to go to lunch, and so on. Some students have been raised in cultures where punctuality in terms of specific clock time is not expected.
b. Some students are used to interacting with adults in private, one-on-one contexts rather than in a more public setting such as a classroom. Others may feel more comfortable responding to questions as a group rather than individually. (Note: If students have read Chapter 8, they might also mention one or more cultural differences in verbal interaction. For guidance, see the Cultural Considerations box Cultural and Ethnic Differences in Verbal Interaction in Chapter 8.)
c. Many cultures encourage children to work cooperatively with others. This cooperative spirit is inconsistent with the competitive environment of many classrooms.
