Can we change the behaviour of the people around us? I mean, how much are you aware of the people around you and how much do you take into account your own behaviour with regards to their best interests? I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently, because I just got back from Finland and the difference between the expectations when we’re out in public between Finland and Spain is incredible. Scandanavians have an attitude towards what’s appropriate in public and what’s not that’s similar to how I grew up – in the. Northeast and pretty much everywhere in the States and Canada as well. And I’m going to bring this around to the classroom, because there is a culture in the classroom whether you are aware of it or not, and the culture you grew up in, and the culture you’re living in – whether they’re the same or not – influence how your students act towards each other and towards you. One culture or another influences your expectations of how your students act and what you reinforce or not.
