Jenna life is not always about what is fair it is about what is right and equitable.
Jenna, I was hoping I could have the seat in the front because I have trouble seeing the board if I sit anywhere else.
Equitable, I have never hear do that term before
Me neither what does that mean Miss Smith?
Well why don't we all have a seat and we'll do a mini lesson.
Equity is the idea that each person is treated fiarly and impartially.
That makes sense Miss Smith but I got to class before Aiden so isn't it fair that I get the front seat?
Could you give me an example Jenna?
Well that is a type of fairness, but in the classroom we are talking about fairness in the sense that it puts everyone on as equal a playing field as possible in regard to academic sucess
Oh I think I understand!
An example of equity is how I get more testing time before of my dyslexia!
And how I get to sit at the front of the room and get different work sheets with enlarged faunt because of my eye sight.
Very good! Don't forget to raise your hand Chris. We don't shout out answers.
So Jenna is switching seats with Christ the fair and equitable thing to do?
Absolutely, because there is no reaosn he is at a disadvantage that he can't control.
