Multicultural Education



Socioeconomic status-
                I do not agree with this opinion, theory on student’s success, no matter how many cases that it is true in. I think that if a parent does not have enough money to send their child to school then of course that child might not succeed because of lack of opportunity. My parents are middle class, my mom finished a year of college and my dad barely finished high school. Yet here I am in my second year of college planning to go off to university in the next couple years.               
Cultural capital-
                I think cultural capital is awesome to have in school; it can show the other students a new culture and also provide great style ideas. Cultural capital helps students bring to schools their personality and part of where they grew up.
Reducing barriers-
                I think all kids should have an opportunity to showcase who they are and where they came from.  Teachers should have a positive attitude and help those students show not only their cultures but also their attitudes on aspects of society. Some ideas that I would incorporate would include show and tell, and also ancestor day where all kids brought to school different things to show their ancestry.
