Case Studies with Solutions
Real-world scenarios from UK schools, breaking down the issue, the bias, and the effective solution.
Kwame, Year 5
Situation
Kwame is a bright student but frequently gets in trouble for "talking back." His teacher says he's disrespectful and has recommended him for behaviour support.
Analysis
Kwame's teacher interprets his questions as defiance. At home, his parents encourage curiosity, which the teacher sees as challenging authority.
Solution
The teacher reframes questioning as critical thinking and sets clear expectations. They communicate with the parents about cultural differences.
Outcome
Kwame learns to code-switch, the teacher learns to recognise cultural differences, and the relationship is repaired.
