Nieto article

I really enjoyed Nieto's article. I think it sets a great base for future teachers to keep building on. I have seen so many teachers not be able to leave their personal feelings and opinions out of the classroom, which does not let them keep an open mind to diversity. Every student deserves to be treated and taught fairly. I really agree with Nieto when she discusses the quick fixes that are fed down teachers' throats. Such broad problems need to take a lot of work and time to solve and must be worked on through generations. It's extremely difficult to change an entire society's thought on diversity, but I think a great place to start is with teachers in the classroom.
