[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is the generalization and the stigma that comes with have a certain race/ethnicity or lower SES. Some teachers, including my DD's teacher (she told me and one of the reasons I dislike her) automatically believe that children from low SES or minorities will have behavioral issues or test poorly, showing unfair bias toward those children. [/quote] Data show this. So while your teacher may have her reasons for believing it (racist? maybe), it is true. Kids from low SES homes (mainly minorities) are more often identified as special ed and are more often disruptive than white children. Sadly, this is rooted in institutionalized racism and is often exacerbated by instructional settings where expectations are lowered for minorities. [/quote] It's a shame that people generalize and can't view kids as individuals.[/quote]
