Cultural Pluralism

On one hand, I am still very impressed by educators who are able to teach so that the masses of students that they teach perform very well. However, I am also intrigued by educators who can transfer the information they know to their students that do not have the greatest track record when it comes to learning. I feel as though children from all racial and ethnic backgrounds should be given the opportunity to see how the real world really is. When I think of pluralism in the curriculum, I think of a curriculum that paints the accurate picture of the world is really like, which is a mixture of all types of people. This is the only way that we can assure that children from every type of background can find themselves in this world. We have to choose to teach topics from a pluralistic perspective if we are going to expect true student achievement. Until there is an educational reform that addresses this issue, I feel as if our educational system will continue to lack.
