This chapter of Fires in the Bathroom is the most specific of the different chapters in Fires so far. This chapter focuses mainly on what to do when you have multiple different languages being spoken in a classroom, or have students who are still developing their English skills. Many of the kids who have been giving their advice throughout this book come from different countries, and all live in the Bay Area of California, which is a very diverse area of California.
One of my favorite things that they talked about in this chapter was how to bring student's multiple different cultural backgrounds into the classroom. Connecting lessons to something students can relate to is something we've been learning a lot about in Dr. Grace's class, and being a history concentration, I definitely would want to bring many different cultures into a classroom. Making sure to use those cultural differences, so students can get something out of it, instead of ignoring them, is going to make not only those students more successful, but all students more successful.
