[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems to be a problem with public schools nationwide.  I have a kid who had straight As through a W schools (and high SAT) and is now at an Ivy.  She said there is a stark contrast in public vs private school kids in work ethic.  The private school kids sit somewhere quiet and focus and study hard on a regular basis, all semester.  The public school kids, not so much.

She had a prof who said as much.  He had a tendency to say the quiet part out loud and gave them a bit of a pep talk saying he wants EVERYONE to succeed.  And then said, 'I've found from past semesters that I tend to have kids drop out or not do well--[b]especially women, minorities,[/b] and kids from public schools' (she is all three), 'so especially if you are in one of these categories, please come to office hours and we'll work through this stuff together to make sure you succeed.'

Kind of a jerk thing to say, but it suggests that he can see a difference between public and private school kids...

Seems strange that the prof would look up the students' high schools.[/quote]

Well, he could all he wants, but say it out loud like that? In front of the whole class? He is a sexist AND racist. I can't believe the school allows him to say those things in classroom. [/quote]

Is it sexist and racist if it’s true??? [/quote]
