Chapter 10 of Fires in the Bathroom looked at how a teacher can handle diversity outside the classroom too. The ideas in this chapter were really neat. One activity I liked was when one student explained that twice a week in science, they would go to clean up a park. The idea I liked the most, however, was guiding students to summer activities or camps.
The reason this activity really stuck out to me was because I work at an overnight summer camp based on Quaker values. The campers we get are very diverse, coming from as far away as Pakistan. A lot of children who I could imagine were overlooked in schools or acted out against authority figures gained a lot from the experience, and I gained a lot from working with them to resolve conflicts.
