[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He prefaced it with "those black kids, those low-income kids..." so yeah, he mean "the poor black kids." Best part was he couldn't understand why people were upset. The central office staff made it worse by trying to say teachers weren't listening and were overreacting. It was a mess.[/quote] Frankly, I don't understand why everyone was so upset. Because a white person said it? Because I taught in DC and black school leaders said things like that all the time! I suspect he meant we shouldn't see this as something for just 'those poor black kids in SE' (as some may consider them) but for ALL kids. Some ppl live and love to be offended.[/quote]
