Answer 1

I agree.

One of my friends immigrated here from South Korea when she was about 10. One of the first things she had to learn was to look teachers in the eye. She had been taught that it was rude an disrespectful for a child to look an adult in the eyes.

You are correct. When cultural discontinuity exists, teachers may misinterpret children's behaviors (Option A). Cultural discontinuity refers to a situation where there is a mismatch or lack of understanding between individuals from different cultural backgrounds. In this context, teachers may not fully understand or be aware of the cultural norms, values, or expectations of the children they are working with, leading to potential misinterpretation of their behaviors. This can affect the quality of communication, interactions, and overall educational experience for the children.

Your answer is correct. When cultural discontinuity exists, teachers may misinterpret children's behaviors. This can happen because teachers may have different cultural backgrounds and expectations, leading them to misunderstand or misinterpret the actions and expressions of children from different cultures. To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the provided options and eliminate the ones that are less relevant or unrelated to the concept of cultural discontinuity. In this case, option B (children developing a strong, positive self-image) and option D (children learning language at an incredible rate) do not directly address the effects of cultural discontinuity. Option C (teachers offering too many treats to children) is a plausible effect of cultural discontinuity but may not be as significant or direct as option A, which involves the interpretation of children's behavior by teachers. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate answer.
