[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a white parent (at Lee in fact!) and I’m terrible about making assumptions about black families! I’m inclined to think black families are poor and uneducated, that the moms are single parents and so on. And I’m embarrassed that it takes me a lot longer to learn to recognize black kids and parents than white ones! And a lot longer to feel comfortable talking to black families. This is all totally against my beliefs, but it lives deep in our brains. I do what I can to do better. [/quote] Curious what doing what you can looks like? Because this work doesn’t happen unless we head on commit to it. [/quote]
