Part of school learning is learning how to get

The teacher, whether teaching GMRC or other
subjects, has a major role to play as children observe
and internalize what they see in the teacher. S/he has
to be a role model in her/his intra and inter-personal
relationship. S/he walks what s/he talks in terms of
the manners, virtues and values demonstrated.

difference but more so how adults respond to and value
these differences.
It is in this respect that the teacher should
instill an appreciation for diversity from the start.
