Students may argue about fairness and ask why a student with special education needs is treated differently regarding behavioral discipline, accommodations, etc. Review the “Beyond F.A.T. City: Look Back, Look Ahead-Conversation about Special Education,” focusing on the “Fairness in the Classroom’ section. Consider the statement, “Fair is not always equal.” Discuss how you, as a teacher, will address the issue of fairness without divulging confidential information.
