As you canimagine, they all raise their hand," she explains."So, I get a Band-Aid.

I pick on one studentto tell us a story of how they hurt their elbow.Then I put the Band-Aid on their elbow”."Next, I ask who's ever bumped their head.More hands go up, I have someone tell mea story, and then I say, 'I am so sorry you hurtyour head.

Here's a Band-Aid for your elbow’”."Next, I ask who's ever scraped their knee.More hands go up, and I say, 'I am so sorry you scrapedyour knee.

Here's a Band-Aid for your elbow’”.“At this point, the kids are superconfused," Aimee says with a chuckle."I'll stop my lesson, and we'll have a conversationabout how, even though I gave everyone the exactsame thing, in the exact same way, it wasn't helpfulto them," the teacher goes on to explain."In conclusion, 'fair' doesn't mean everyonegets the same thing.

'Fair' means everyonegets what they need to be successful”."After this lesson, students are much moreunderstanding when their friends with diabetesneed an extra snack … when their friends with ADHDneed a fidget spinner and they can't have one”."After this lesson, students are much moreunderstanding when their friends with diabetesneed an extra snack … when their friends with ADHDneed a fidget spinner and they can't have one”.TikTokers praised Aimee.
