What is social justice? Social justice is creating equality and opportunity for every person. Teachers use social justice in the classroom to promote equality between students of different race, backgrounds and cultures. It is about giving every student the opportunity to have the resources they need. It not only is to promote equality, but also to reach out to students in need. These students may have learning disabilities, problems at home, or may even be into drugs. Teachers need to be the ones to watch for signs that students may be having trouble in some area. As a teacher, you must provide the student with resources to help them. If a student is being abused, you must report it and seek that the student is getting help. Teachers often are "blind" in these situations because they dont want to deal with the problems. As a teacher, you are also becoming a mentor. You need to be there for these kids no matter how much work it may be for you. This is a way to change future generations. Change now will benefit students and children in the future. It is important that every teacher fights for their students to be in the best environment possible and to provide them with the resources that they need.
