[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what the diversity director who quit mid-year had to say about why she left. Maybe this might help?

Did you quit NCS, or is she joining it? [/quote]

Sorry: did she quit NCS, or is she joining it? [/quote]

She quit.

And STA is FAR more conservative.

People, the proof is in the pudding at these institutions.  They have next to no black faculty.  
And there are scores of highly educated black educators in the DC area.  My younger kids are in middle school 
in DCPS and 50% of their teachers are black with degrees from amazing schools.  If STA/NCS can't hire black 
faculty there's a reason.  And it's not salary--new teachers at DCPS are not making more than their counterparts
at STA/NCS. [/quote]

Has it ever occurred to you that black educators might not want to teach at these schools?  Oh, I forgot....everything is racism.[/quote]

Teaching is much easier at the privates: classes are much smaller, kids are generally well behaved.  And yet they can't get black educators to teach at the Cathedral schools and similar.  
[b]Something is turning off the black workforce[/b].  Salaries are not that different for early to mid career teachers (DCPS teachers start at $50k and are still in the 50's after 5 years).

Just something to ponder in a conversation about why racial issues continue for decades at the Cathedral schools.

Black Harvard etc. grads go into law, medicine etc. If a few want to work for a few years in the community to burnish their resume before grad school, they will do it at a title 1 school. Teaching is still mostly a second earner or retirees game, very few BUPPIES are going to dedicate their lives to educating rich kids when they could be rich themselves. Not racism. Economics.  Sorry Charlie.[/quote]

Huh?  Your post is insane and so out of touch with reality.  So under your paradigm Ivy league educated black people are the only ones worthy of teaching in the private school classroom?
I know about 50 black teachers in the DMV and NONE of them went to an Ivy league school and just about all of them are fantastic in the classroom

I'm going to go bang my head into a wall now.  How are people this far into their own bubble of privilege?

Of course not. However, top of their class white women who are interested in "the field of education" are a dime a dozen, black women less so and black men unicorns  due to the pull of other professions. Fact.  If you think that the best  private schools are not hiring top of their class/go getters/ experts in their field / retirees with excellent resumes and experience you might be the one out of touch with reality?[/quote]
