[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. Teachers underestimate students ALL THE TIME for various reasons and race is a biggie. This really speaks to the whole issue on another thread and [b]how non-black teachers tend to think more poorly of their minority students.[/b] This has been measured in scientific studies. They also tend to underestimate the abilities of boys.

[b]I think your post is offensive to teachers.[/b] You can't always blame on race for your short comings.  [/quote]

Are facts offensive?

Race Biases Teachers’ Expectations for Students
 White teachers more likely to doubt educational prospects of black boys and girls

maybe it's because teachers know the kids. after all, they are the ones who have to deal with kids day in and day out, right? who would know better than the teachers?? [/quote]

Maybe read the link.

[i]When evaluating the same black student, white teachers expect significantly less academic success than black teachers, a new Johns Hopkins University study concludes. This is especially true for black boys.

When a black teacher and a white teacher evaluate the same black student, the white teacher is about 30 percent less likely to predict the student will complete a four-year college degree, the study found. White teachers are also almost 40 percent less likely to expect their black students will graduate high school.

“What we find is that white teachers and black teachers systematically disagree about the exact same student,” said co-author Nicholas Papageorge, an economist in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. “One of them has to be wrong.”[/i][/quote]
