  • Empathy is most often defined by the metaphors of 'standing in someone else's shoes' or 'seeing through someone else's eyes'.

students mexico spanish language barriers classroom

  • Children from rural Mexico may frequently feel uncomfortable in the American classroom environment. For starters, students may have grown up playing only with their siblings and cousins.
  • if a student is attending an American school for the first time, it may also be the first time he or she is surrounded by a different culture, language, food, and set of expectations for behavior. This can make a child feel very nervous, out of place, or shy.
  • the definition of a good education, or una buena educación, held by Mexican parents is far more comprehensive than the dominant American definition of a good education. For Mexican parents, the term una buena educación is a term used to refer to the broad education of a child rather than the solely the schooling of a child. In fact, the term in Spanish meaning “well-educated” is synonymous with the term ser gente decente, or “to be a good person.” A good education serves as the foundation for all other learning and instills in children a sense of moral, social, and personal responsibility. This includes teaching a child how to treat elders with respect, behave properly, and become a person of good moral standing.

  • While parents in rural Mexico place a very high value on education and learning English, mothers bring the cultural understanding that schooling is the responsibility of the teacher and the school rather than the parents. They often do not realize that most children entering kindergarten already know their ABCs, the colors and the numbers. A mother from rural Mexico might expect that her son or daughter would learn all of these things in school.
  • some new immigrant parents may work long hours, may be unable to read, or may fill the house with things other than books or school supplies.
  • she may not understand that teachers’ requests to bring in supplies are to be followed, that classroom open-houses are normally attended by parents, or that homework frequently comes before family time in many American households.
  • Without authentic caring relationships with educators, students may feel disillusioned with their schooling experience and struggle to do well in school
  • To show respect to a teacher, a student may refrain from acting silly or boisterous, may not call out, or may not ask a question if they feel like they would be bothering their teacher.
  • may feel uncomfortable performing in front of the class or displaying information upon request.
  • but would be very willing to share in a small group setting.
  • Assign small group work in class to create a less intimidating environment for a new student. Avoid asking a new student to display their knowledge in front of the class until that behavior seems more familiar. Allow the student to be bicultural! Treat his or her language and ethnicity as assets rather than hurdles to overcome.

    This article has a lot of good information on relating to students and parents originally from rural Mexico. There are many good points in the first and second chapters of the article.

cyber citizenship

  • Digital Citizenship Tips for Teens For teens, we offer five simple rules of digital citizenship to help them create a world they can be proud of -- and inspire others to do the same. Think before you post or text -- a bad reputation could be just a click away. Before you press the "send" button, imagine the last person in the world that you’d want seeing what you post. What goes around comes around. If you want your privacy respected, respect others' privacy. Posting an embarrassing photo or forwarding a friend’s private text without asking can cause unintended hurt or damage to others. Spread heart, not hurt. If you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it online. Stand up for those who are bullied or harassed, and let them know that you’re there for them. Give and get credit. We’re all proud of what we create. Illegal downloading, digital cheating, and cutting and pasting other people’s stuff may be easy, but that doesn’t make it right. You have the responsibility to respect other people’s creative work -- and the right to have your own work respected. Make this a world you want to live in. Spread the good stuff. Create, share, tag, comment, and contribute to the online world in positive ways.

    Personally I prefer Google Hangout, but it's the same concept. What a great way to get a good guest speaker from someone that may not be local and speak in person. Personally I like the idea for professional development. Can do it one-on-one with someone and get specific questions answered for your class as opposed to blanket topics/statements in large group professional development settings.

    I use Skype along with my husband's 5th grade classroom. His students read aloud to my kinder students as part of our literacy block. We rotate through the kids until everyone has had a turn and then we get new books and start over. It's a win, win for everyone!
