[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did the teacher create an unsafe space? The teacher was caught off guard and gave a stupid non-committal remark.[/quote] Because the child was singled out in a way that indicated that she was "less than". She's obviously internalized the message already. By using it as the beginning of a dialogue about how things were previously unfair and they have changed over time, she could have allowed the OP's kid to feel safe and welcome. Now she's just much more aware of how she's different...and lucky to be allowed into the all white club.[/quote]
