[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read about the study on NPR this morning.

The participants didn't know the kids in the study.  I wonder if the implicit bias is still a problem after the teachers get to know the student.

I guess I'm naively hoping that after the teachers see that the kids are well behaved the implicit bias become less of an issue.[/quote]

You are incredibly naive.

Bias against AA boys, and low expectations for AA and Latino kids in general are enormous problems in education.  [/quote]

It isn't the school's job to set exspectations. That is why parents who care work so hard to get their kids in environments that foster drive and good peer pressure. So many minority families sit back and wait for the solutions to come to them and point fingers for others to fix stuff that is unfixable. At some point one must realize that if you go to Roosevelt you have a high chance of failing and if that isn't what you want maybe you should hustle to get out of there.  Or sit back and wait for other people to fix your problems and see how that goes, your choice.  I am sorry but the life trajectory of some kid born poor with uneducated parents will never be the same as a kid born to wealthy and educated parents.[/quote]
