even believe themselves that they will fail which can cause them to. This would turn into a
macro level that would affect the society as a whole. The perceptions teachers hold for their
students plays a huge role in the student’s outcome. 80% of teachers are middles class
Caucasians that have classrooms that are becoming more and more diverse. Teachers are needing
specialized training to be able to teach their kids in more affective manners. If a teacher does not
give their student their best chance at an education, then that student can grow up missing out on
important learning opportunities. They can also grow up not feeling like they can achieve or
succeed which can cause them to fall into poverty such as when they were younger and in school
(Davis, 2016).
Special training of teachers is a good solution for social problems within educational
systems. Being able to understand a student’s cultural background will help teachers become
better educators. This is because it would close the gap to a lack of understanding. It is important

for teachers to have intimate knowledge of what their student is living every day. Teachers can
also incorporate social issues and injustice into their curriculum to get their students to talk about
and become more aware of social issues. Today’s world is very different from what it was 50
years ago. Segregation in schools has not been around for years so all students are given equal
opportunity. However, if teachers are missing out on teaching opportunities due to a lack of
connection or understanding of different cultures, then these teachers need to be making extra
steps and there should be addition training provided by the school (Davis, 2016).
