Question 1
The case should have been looked into in a different way by Mrs. Moch first explaining
to Sylvie the essence of her race. In this case, Sylvie did not have a clear picture of how race
matters in her life, as nobody in her school has ever explained the absolute truth of how it
significantly impacted her life. Therefore, she did not know that being different from others did
not negatively impact her day-to-day activities. If I were Mrs. Moch, I would find time out of the
curriculum lesson to sit with Sylvie and explain to her the essence of race and how it mattered to
her life. In the same case, I would clarify to her that race is good; hence, she should not feel like
an outcast because of it. In this case, having a different race does not make her inferior to the
other race but rather is still equal to the other race. In this case, despite learning with learners of
white origin, she should learn how to cope with them as a student from another origin by not
accepting his culture; it would make her have a hard time learning with other students.
Question 2
Lewis's ethnicity aids her in discovering more about this problem because others in the
society can identify with her since she is of a similar race (Lewis, 2001). In order for pupils to
comprehend how this affects their lives and that people of various races or cultures can still have
an impact on them, they must be exposed to multicultural curricula in a homogenous atmosphere.
By having pupils learn about other cultures and celebrate holidays from many countries,
inclusive curricula may be put into practice. Teachers can use class time to teach about other
racial and cultural groups to benefit the students' comprehension. Students from other cultures in
a class could explore how their cultural background differs from that of a white student by
talking about their experiences and what their families do. Additionally, teachers might use
Skype to communicate with a class from another country to discuss cultural differences with the
3
students; this would provide the students a chance to interact in person with students from other
countries. In this case, the students get to know more about the different cultures that exist on the
continent and the beauty in them. As a result, they would be able to understand that no culture is
superior to the other, helping them understand one another as brothers and sisters. As a result, the
students would accept one another and treat each other equally in a manner that would make the
learning environment conducive for everyone in school. In this way, all students despite of their
races, would enjoy their stay in school.
