Teacher uses Band-Aids to teach kids beautiful lesson on 'fairness': 'Those kiddos are so
Teacher and TikToker Aimee (@AimeesEdventures) gained over 2 million views and 2,000 comments when she shared her eye-opening lesson online. "I ask my students to raise their hands if they've ever scraped their elbow. As you can imagine, they all raise their hand," she explains. "So, I get a Band-Aid. I pick on one student to 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 me a story, and then I say, 'I am so sorry you hurt your 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 scraped your knee. Here's a Band-Aid for your elbow’”. “At this point, the kids are super confused," Aimee says with a chuckle. "I'll stop my lesson, and we'll have a conversation about how, even though I gave everyone the exact same thing, in the exact same way, it wasn't helpful to them," the teacher goes on to explain. "In conclusion, 'fair' doesn't mean everyone gets the same thing. 'Fair' means everyone gets what they need to be successful”. "After this lesson, students are much more understanding when their friends with diabetes need an extra snack … when their friends with ADHD need a fidget spinner and they can't have one”.
