This meme represents when a student first enters a new class or new school such as refuges and how teachers can respond to that. As teachers I feel we need to take the extra step of making sure the students are feeling supported and comfortable in the classroom especially during transitioning periods. We can do this by placing students in a friendly group, occasionally checking on students throughout the day, and asking students how he or she is feeling. Instead of the blue button which is a student refuge entering the classroom without any check-ins or concerns from the teacher. Therefore, choosing the red button is what should be encouraged in my opinion.
