[quote=Anonymous]This is a really complicated issue and there are huge costs to allowing bias to continue. A lot of kids identities are formed based on how their teachers treat them and the grades they make etc. I have a friend who is a wonderful writer but he is a person of color and teachers always gave him bad marks until he got to AP classes while his white counterparts like me got great grades even though their essays were crap. Suddenly the AP teacher recognized that he is a wonderful writer and he is now a professional writer who has written books. If that AP teacher had not recognized him he might have gone a completely different direction in his life. [/quote]
