1. In "I Don't Want to Say It, Sir!" Vicky Loras tells us about an experience she had as a young student. She felt uncomfortable saying a line in a play that she felt was disrespectful toward another country's people. What point does Vicky want us to understand about dealing with racism or multiculturalism in young learners' classes?

Hint: Read Vicky's post here.

Avoid sensitive topics. Children are too young to deal with differences.

Everyone is the same around the world.

Leave these lessons for home, not English class.

Children understand what is fair and unfair from a very young age, and are open to new ideas.
