Students are not the SAME!!!


Many teachers might fall in dealing with students as if they all know nothing. This is not the case nowadays. Students do come laden with experiences and knowledge. The problem is that students’ experience and knowledge differs from one student to another. Many factors do affect this. It might be to the socio economic status (SES) of the students’ family or the social status…etc. For example, a student with high SES might be introduced to many experiences that a low SES one would not be introduced to. Also, a student with a regular family is not the same as a student whose parents are divorced, dead…etc. so, students come with previous knowledge to our classes. Our role as teachers is to full the lack of knowledge to those who are less-experienced in order to have a healthy class. However, many found that this is impossible. They thought of separating schools for rich and poor students. Do you think this is the ideal solution? If not, what would you recommend?
