All of us have different circumstances and different needs. Equity means that we treat people fairly according to those differences. Fair doesn’t always mean exactly the same. At school, equity means that you’re treated fairly and have the same opportunities, no matter your race, culture, physical or mental abilities, or how much money your family has. Equity means that we all can try our best and feel good about our efforts. Every child comes to school with different needs. Your teacher is treating everybody equitably when they give each child exactly what they need, this means that sometimes children will get things that you don’t, and that’s okay.
