Tolerance

Tolerance -
willingness to
recognize and
respect the
beliefs or
practices of
others.

An example of when the students showed tolerance of each
other was when...
They were eager to learn when Ms Gruwell taught them. When the student drew a picture of another student, mocking his lips - Ms Gruwell spoke to them about how one drawing could lead into something bad towards each other. Another example is when the student told the class he was being evicted and he told them about how much struggle he went through. He also told them that he felt like he was at home when he was in his class.

I think tolerance of other race is important because …

We need to respect other people's cultures and we need to get along with everyone such as different coloured people to us and different cultured people.
