[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s wait and see what was actually said. Something like “you two look alike” is NOT the same as “all you people look alike.” Every year I have little white kids whose names I mix up because they look so much alike. Mixing kids up is not offensive. Saying “all you people look alike” is offensive.[/quote] Yes! I'd have students, often white, that I'd confuse, especially out of context (like outside of class). Next to each other, they'd obviously look different, but there'd be some feature similarity that caused me confusion, and repeatedly. Yes, embarrassing - to all. Also, given we are in what, week two of the 2nd semester, and classes have just been switched, wouldn't be surprised if this was a new student/teacher configuration, and the teacher is still struggling with names. Are we going to fire every teacher that doesn't slam-dunk every kid's name first day? As other's said, wait and see what was the exact words and context were. [/quote]
