[quote=Anonymous]Part of the reason is the covert racism, innuendos and microaggressions students are being exposed to by staff members. Over the years I have had numerous parents come and tell me what they have heard when my colleagues have been gossiping in the presence of the parents, thinking the parent is unable to understand English. I have had students both in elementary and middle school tell me what Ms. X was saying Ms. Y about me. All of us get these annual trainings about being tolerant of each other, but when it comes to implementation, the reality is different. In my colleagues' mindset, someone who looks like me and sounds like me should be a building service worker, a secretary or at most a teacher's assistant. This culture is being passed to the students. Not everyone is very strong emotionally. Not every student is strong enough to ignore and look the other way. Some of them are exploding.[/quote]
