These things are not real, they are just exaggerated ideas about something. Therefore, we can promote forgetting the stereotypes and identify the ideas that divide our society and make us judge others. In the classroom there will be a variety of people from different cultures and characteristics, in which the students can express themselves without being or feeling judged. Learning is not just for students with certain characteristics, it’s for everyone.
