Common misconception
In our society, the opinions of the rich and the loud are often heard the most. It's understandable for children to think that these voices have the most validity behind them.
It's important that we listen to all the voices in society and try to understand the thoughts and feelings behind these. Just because someone is wealthy, should we pay more attention to what they saying?
Teacher tip
This is a sensitive issue and cycle B of the lesson may not be appropriate for all children. It is important they feed confident and understand that no one opinion is more valid than another. Discussing different currencies used by the children and their families could be a safe way to start.
