Discrimination is the practice of treating one or more persons differently from how you treat others by being bias, unjust, less tolerant or less fair to them base on various reasons. Teachers are human beings and as such, embedded with bias and social predujices. While it is highly unlikely that a teacher would consciously act on these biases which eventually result in discrimination,it does happen.Teachers must watch out not to handle pupils base on their social class, ethnicity, intelligence, behavior, physical disabilities, religious backgrounds, etc The experiences children get in their classrooms to a large extent, determine what and how they see themselves generally.While we do not intend to discriminate, subtle differences in perception and handling them go a long way to have some long lasting effects...
