[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ I hear you, but OP is referencing a TEACHER. Someone who is hired to teach children content that will enable them to get into college.  I'm an AA teacher and believe in setting high expectations for my students.

PP, I agree with you that the SES students will be fine. I'm more concerned with the students who haven't been exposed to proper English.  Proper English is what will get them a job (and we all know "respect" in the real world).

Great teachers love learning and improving. This teacher should be given an opportunity to improve her craft and then set your students on the path to COLLEGE and careers that require proper English.

There are numerous success stories of great teachers holding low SES students to high standards and sending 90+% of them on to being the first college graduates in their families.

I'm not discounting previous poster. I understand your experience and think it is GREAT! I just want to call attention to the low SES students and the disservice the teacher is giving them.  [/quote]

I agree with everything you wrote, but how does a white person broach this topic without seeming racist at worst or classist at best? I'd hate to be thought of as either.
