[quote=Anonymous]I've seen arents of all races refuse to see behavioral problems by the child in question (e.g. White student caught cheating, parents opining that school "has ruined [child's] life" because offense was reported to colleges as per school policy), or insisting that the teachers are doing something wrong where child is underachieving. White parents are more likely just to assert these things without providing a reason, African-American parents somewhat more likely to raise the issue of racial insensitivity or bias. It is good to care about how your child is treated, but try as hard as you can to make sure you are being honest with yourself about any real issues your child may have had. Parents who say "nobody gets treated like this except for [my kid] [this racial/ethnic group]" often don't know of many prior examples to the contrary that are correctly not publicized due to student/family privacy concerns.[/quote]
