1. How is diversity reflected in the culture of the United States?
   

   
    

We also have to observe that new diverse nationalities, just don't carry their tired backs nor their baggage of any form, but also they bring in their life's functional/operation mode and influences. Teachers are faced with serious challenges. However, parents play distinctive roles in helping 'baby' correspond to the norms and expectations they will encounter in the mainstream of the United States of America. I for one, was my children's home-mentor when they first got here from the Far East. It is amazing how they quickly caught up with the school, their classmates, and even the football team and the local girl-scouts.

The diverse cultures in the US can adapt to the mainstream sophistication through education (the teacher, the parents, the media) and exposure to the arts; thus, these children are learning a new skill and advancing their respective interests (like my son as he joined the school's football team right on the very first year of contact USA), yet maintain their diverse flavors or uniqueness.

Some of these children may be limited in their ESL, but in the long run exceeds the academic norms of locals from advantaged environments. Indeed, this is where cooperative learning takes center-stage at school; and at home with guardians/helping-hands organizations/ mentors.

As a teacher, "your aim is not to develop a different curriculum for each group of students – rather your curriculum should increase student's awareness and appreciation of the diversity in US cultures (272). Again, teachers have to teach all children their worth.
