[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I have not seen is this:  Ebonics

That is the problem.[/quote]

Lol! You have got to be kidding or crazy if you think the majority of black TEACHER applicants in FAIRFAX show up speaking Ebonics!!! LOL

This is what happens when Whites aren't exposed to black teachers. They grow up leaning on stereotypes! Lol[/quote]

We are talking about the teachers [b]not[/b] being hired.  Not those that[b] are [/b]hired.  And, FWIW, I have taught with a LOT of black teachers.  Most are quite articulate.  I have taught with a couple who were not--not in FCPS, however.[/quote]

The point is that QUALITY black teachers are not being hired. It's inconceivable that the majority of black teachers applying for jobs in Fairfax speak Ebonics.

You may have worked with black teachers (and if it was indeed "A LOT" you were clearly not working in Fairfax  :lol: ) but the fact that your assumption is that they must speak Ebonics suggests that you truly did not grow up seeing educatred black people in positions of authority. This is why it's important to have black teachers in schools with a predominately white student body.[/quote]
