having different cultural background, different language, abilities, different attitude, aptitude
and behaviour. Some teachers might see these diversity as a difficult predicament, really a
hassle! Yet a very reflective teacher may see a diverse classroom as an exciting place to learn
not just for her students, but for herself as well. A wise teacher may choose to respect and
celebrate diversity.
