This the key point!  How can you know what the kid feels.  What if 3 groups of kids feel differently.  I don't want to wade in those murky waters personally.  [b]But what I do know is that if you want a teacher who is relatable to a certain group of kids in MCPS, simply inserting "Hispanic" is meaningless.[/b]  You are going to have to start getting very specific about what is being sought after.[/quote]

How do you know this?[/quote]

[b]Its self evident..[/b]  I believe a teacher of any background can relate to kids.  If you are not like me and believe that a kid has to be of the same background as a group to relate to them then simply inserting a "Hispanic" is going to be hit or miss for reasons we've already discussed.[/quote]

It's not self-evident to the groups who represent (or say they represent) Hispanic groups in the county and are calling more Hispanic teachers in MCPS. Why do you know more about this than those groups?[/quote]
