  13. Cultural Differences • Hispanics do not make eye contact when being disciplined as a sign of respect. • Hispanics kiss on cheek and hug when greeting. • Hispanic parents do not question teacher’s academic decisions regarding their children. Teachers are placed in a very high hierarchy in Hispanic culture. • Hispanics are touchy people and keep very close proximity to others. • Asians are not to be touched on the head for religious reasons. • Boys and girls are in separated schools in Pakistan. (Do not place brothers and sisters in the same class)
