Is it fair for a teacher to navigate students in their own acceptance and modification of their own culture? How can a teacher provide these experiences to their students when they themselves, do not have an appropriate level of understanding to the different cultures? What we are asking of teachers is not realistic. We are asking them to have a level of understanding for something that you cannot have unless you have lived it and it is a part of your life and belief system. We are asking people to step into another culture with grace and understanding and some how bring that to life for others. It is am impossible task, even with a teacher that has the best intentions.
