Response to Mark

Mark...when I read your dialogue, I couldn't help but think of a saying that I learned from another teacher..."Needs before wants". We always need to fulfill our needs before our wants - this goes for our students as well as ourselves. Kind of links into your concept of "fairness" given the peoples needs and wants are different...

I like that Niomi, thanks.
It's another important distinction to help kids understand why 'equal treatment' does not mean 'identical treatment'.

Thank you for sharing;
