Were is the past tense of was. For eg: We were at the party yesterday. Where is the to find out the place or position of a person or a thing. For eg: Where do you live? We're is the short form of 'we are' which is known as a contraction For eg:We're going jogging today I hope I have made myself clear
Were is used to describe something in the past, it has already happened. Where is used to question a place, a position We're is a contraction for we are, shortened it makes we're

If my student is racist, I would approach the lesson with empathy and respect, but also with a firm commitment to challenging their beliefs. Here are a few steps I would take: -First I would create a safe and comfortable environment where the student feels they can express their views without fear of judgement. -Next, I would engage in a dialogue with the student to try to understand their perspective and beliefs. -Then I would present counterarguments and alternative views to challenge their beliefs and help them see different perspectives.
