As an MCPS teacher at two middle schools in the last 10 years, this does not match my experience at all.  It is not behavior you find in most schools.[/quote]

I also haven’t seen this where I have taught in 15 years, but I have witnessed so much racism and homophobia by staff. I’m going to believe you because I know I have reported coworkers for saying [b]soul crushing things to children, particular black and brown boys.[/b] They didn’t seem to face any consequences.

I work in a high school in MCPS and i see quite the opposite.  I see total coddling of these kids. Afraid of a lawsuit to report  their awful behavior and language. [/quote]

Possibly the kids who were verbally abused by teachers in MS are acting out now in HS? [/quote]

I think that when teachers blow up it is because they have become completely frustrated that particular black/brown boys are not being held accountable by parents, admin, staff, etc.  As a teacher, it has happened to me.  I have seen other teachers get completely frustrated as well.   It is not because of their race/heritage.  It is because of basic human frustration.  [b]To be quite honest, after being a teacher I have learned not to trust particular groups of AA teenage boys.[/b]   These are the "high flyers" of the building, and I know these students well.  That is not racism.  This is knowing that I have to put my foot down, draw a line, and state clearly what is ok and not ok.   These are students who push boundaries.  So, it is very important set those strict boundaries.  Often times this helps me build a relationship with those students.   They often like the tough teachers, if they have a reason to.[/quote]
