Problem: Identify who has been demeaned or degraded in the situation and what would have been a more appropriate response. Make connections to lesson resources that support a rationale for your revised response. A teacher asked Elora, a first-grade child, if she would prefer to go to the math or the writing center. The child selected the writing center, and the teacher said, "I think you should start in the math center."
How has the teacher demeaned Elora? What would have been a more appropriate response to the child?
