Andrade video


I found it especially interesting how Andrade highlighted the homicide rates and how endemic it will become if left unabated. Another point Andrade made that I found interesting was how students that live in poor conditions have post traumatic stress disorder, a condition primarily associated with soldiers returning from battle. All these issues culminate in the student as an incredibly heavy burden that teachers must be aware of to properly understand their students. I have had many teachers who were very unkind to many of my classmates and I’ve never seen them attempt to understand why the student behaves the way they do.
I agree with what Andrade had to say. Teachers should always keep in mind that their student's go through struggles everyday and should refrain from judging them. Teachers also shouldn’t assume less fortunate students are inherently bad. They should actually sit down, talk to them, and get to know them. It is also important to ensure students have the basic necessities they need to keep up with the class and achieve their goal.
