The Danger of a Single Story

As a future teacher, I think it is important to be wary of giving students a single story when teaching them. By teaching multiple stories in a classroom, the classroom will become more inclusive. I think it is important to not have a single story of the students in your classroom. There is so much going on in a student’s life once they leave school at the end of the day and teacher’s need to account for that rather than expecting students to only be students and nothing else during a school day. Also, it is important that teachers do not bring their biases or stereotypes into a classroom in order to provide all students with a proper education. Therefore, teachers need to constantly be checking if they have created for themselves a single story about any group of people.
