[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a black parent, I don't have the luxury of expecting the school to do the heavy lifting in terms of core math and ELA. Maybe little white kids can survive entering K with zero literacy or numeracy skills, but my little black boys wouldn't be taken seriously, nor would I as a responsible parent. Don't talk to be about "equity" when some of you want the "privilege" of sending your kids to school unprepared, notwithstanding the fact that you have the resources to do so. No, the school shouldn't expect much from parents, but you should expect more from yourselves. [/quote] What if the teacher was black? Would that change anything?[/quote] No - this isn’t about specific teachers, but system-wide low expectations of black kids, even at schools populated by largely black staff. [/quote]
