We must understand the different circumstances and challenges that limit a person and recognise our privilege before we make assumptions. For starters, we need to develop empathy towards people, especially students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. People often think that underperforming children are lazy and not interested in learning, when in fact they have to make tough choices between staying in school or working to support their families. It s difficult to convince a child who’s hungry that staying in school is important for their future.
To ensure my classes are interactive and fun, I put a lot of effort into engaging the student with the topic. That is what I still do now with the school leaders I work with, to ensure that topics are relevant and sessions are engaging for the children. For my students, I use a lot of pop songs (Taylor Swift was a favourite) and even K-pop songs.
