Read the passage below and indicate whether Ms. Optimism acted professionally or not. Give three reasons to support your stance. Thank you.

As a teacher in the school with a dual medium instruction, Ms Optimism was

comfortable because she could communicate proficiently in both languages.

The medium of instruction in Ms Optimism’ school were English and

Afrikaans. However, in 1997 the demographics of his learners started

showing some shifts. The learners’ language of communication increased to

ten different languages. Of the ten languages she was proficient in only two

languages. Her concern was that he could not cover the need of the entire

class. As a learner, she always felt isolated and marginalized because she

believed that she never had a teacher who truly saw her. Thus, she always

wanted to cover the needs of every learner in her classroom. She felt that

she could not accomplish her goal due to lack of language proficiency of the

other eight languages.Furthermore, more of his learners come from different communities. Some

learners drove their cars to school, others walked while others used a bus

transport that leaves very early in the morning without allowing the learners

to have their breakfast. The learners who used the bus transport were always

tired and sleepy in the class. These learners also felt that they were tolerated

and not welcomed in the school. I order to cope with the new environment

they assimilated and adopted the school’s culture and tradition. Learners who

drove cars to school often look down upon those who walked or used a bus

to school.

It was at this point that Ms Optimism turned to the community and other

teachers for assistance in her teaching. She felt there was lack of equity in

resources provided for the learners in the school. Ms Optimism wanted to

support the learners the best she could. Through her tireless initiative the school moved away from a dual medium to a parallel medium. Her initiative

made all the learners felt welcomed and valued in the school and the community
