A chewed up piece of gum is essentially worthless. No one wants to chew on a piece of gum that has already been inside someone else’s mouth, right? Well, how would you feel if your teacher told you that you were that piece of gum if you decided to engage in any sexual activity before marriage? Elizabeth Smart, a kidnapping victim who was sexually abused for years, was told this as a young girl by one of her teachers. Smart was taken in Salt Lake City, Utah when she was 14 years old and held…

to help me prepare and better understand my students. Our classrooms today are very diverse with students of different nationalities, religions, ethnicity, and socio-economic backgrounds. To be at my best, I need as much information I can get from my students. Being able to observe a student that comes from a different culture, socio-economic background, and geographic region, as well as seeing how that student interacts in other classrooms and with peers, will better prepare me as an educator.…
