Diversity+Page

The idea of diversity is a strange one. As I have gone through school, I have been taught, at an early age, that America was a melting pot with cultures mixing and everyone gelling together into one "people group." Now, I am being taught that America is a salad bowl, with each and every culture and person retaining their "self image."

This leads me to my philosophy on diversity in the classroom. The more diverse the classroom, the better. It will be hard to connect on a cultural level with every student, but the more diverse the class, the more the students can learn from each other.
