          Diversity in Classroom

                Education is enthusiastic with diverse classrooms. Some people support that student should be in school because school is a real copy of the life and the best life education centre. Students face various cultural background in class, and they accommodate life faster with the diversity. However, every class may not be innocent. Special class is an example for this. If we put students in special class, they can limit themselves with their specialization. Also, many expert supports that we should put students in diverse class but what about teachers. There are many factor effecting teachers in class. Dress students wear, the language student use, and physical features e.g. can influence teacher. If a student has hearing problems, this can effect that student because teacher may ignore the student and may think that he does not have a chance to learn like his peers in class and give up interesting with the child. This is a dimension belonging to teacher expectations. Also, teacher can expect more or less from real capability of the students. This is a real danger. In this way, teacher can enforce student’s brain and this can throw insurance of the students. Moreover, teacher can decrease real capability of a genius, this can also throw insurance of the student. As we see as an example with Einstein.

                Danger of wrong teacher expectation is not limited with the example below. There is an effect which is called sustaining expectation. This expectation reminds me a Turkish proverb which is “our name has become nine, it does not never become eight”. It means that people can be remembered belonging to their old habits, and whenever people see them, they remember it. Teachers can remember their students like this. If one of them gets A from his all exam, teacher can give an A to his a bad exam result. This is sustaining expectation effect. Moreover, this can be actualized in its opposite way. Students also can be effected by this danger. Teachers’ effect on them can influence them to accept their situations, and they can normalize this situation on themselves.

                Teachers should understand that they should get used to teach students with their varieties because differences between students are not limited with diversities below. Students can have different intelligences which are bodily kinesthetic, emotional intelligence, e.g. they are also should be thought when teaching. Otherwise, many students will be had to take individualized education because there are still many people telling that ability is nature which is known as coming born. It means that it is hard for us to be in same school with our differences. Actually, I agree this sentence in some parts. There are many genius students and they should be enriched. If we put that in same class with the other students, we may lose their real capability.
