Through diversity training, teaching students at a young age the importance of diversity, and applying new ideas to the classroom, students will see a positive change in themselves and the world around them. Conflicts will always arise in public schools, but the conflict between races seems to be more challenging. Teachers should be aware of the diversity in the classroom and

    As Gay (2010) states, although cultural diversity is seen as a positive and valuable in theory, it is often seen as a threat and tried to be eliminated in real life; and because of this reason teachers mostly deal with aspects of cultural diversity that won’t cause trouble for them.
