 INTRODUCTION:
Part of school learning is learning how to get along with different kinds
of classmates and others as well.
The teacher, whether teaching GMRC or other subjects, has a major
role to play as children observe and internalize what they see in the teacher. S/he
has to be a role model in her/his intra and inter-personal relationship. S/he walks
what s/he talks in terms of the manners, virtues and values demonstrated.
Children are very observant and notice only difference but more so how
adults respond to and value these differences.
It is in this respect that the teacher should instill an appreciation for
diversity from the start.
