Assigning characteristics and stereotypes to persons based on their ethnicity, sir? As you put it so eloquently, "dat racis'". Now go and fuck yourself. Additional. I was showing this article to the Dear Mrs Muncher there. She recognises pretty much every single behaviour described herein from her own students. Thing is, though, she teaches in almost-exclusively white West Belfast. Conclusion: white Irish are black Americans. (Black Irish may therefore be Mexicans, except that they're white... I'm not sure how this works.) |

I want to hurt this "teacher" so badly. She does NOT deserve certification, and how she made it into the system is beyond me.

Frankly, though, there are a LOT of teachers like him, and while I'm not an expert on the public education system at all, I don't think schools can afford to choose the teachers who are good at teaching and want to instruct students regardless of the students' ethnicity, religion(s), traits, etc. until they make higher salaries for the teachers. Then people who're good at teaching won't have to become a professor at a community college (now it's more like state colleges) in order to make a decent living, which will certainly help attract them to the K-12 scene, and then the schools can afford to be choosy. For all I know, though? This Christian Weston Chandler Christopher dude is teaching in an area where anti-black sentiment (and treating girls like they have no brains, i.e. the "WE MUST PROTECT WHITE GIRLS FROM DATING BLACK BOYS" nonsense) is perfectly a-okay. I mean, he did say he taught that class in a southeastern state. So it's not like better teacher salaries would even matter in that case. |

It's called being beaten until you submit. Apparently, it's supposed to work......

Here in rural Victoria things are depressingly similar. After taking a particularly loud and raucous year 9 ESL class one of my colleagues opined that "if they can't learn respect we should send them back to their bloody home countries and see how they like it" to which I curtly replied "where do we send young McNabb?", a white lad who was waving around a Stanley knife in science class within eyesight of both of us. My xenophobic colleague was rather stumped at that point.
Fact was, my year 9 ESL kids from various Arab countries weren't any better or worse than most of the Anglo or Celtic kids, and after all the noise and carrying on they still got their work done. It continues to amaze me how many teachers who should know better, use the misbehaviour of non-white kids as a chance to sneak in a little xenophobia and racism into the conversation whilst ignoring the propensity of their paler classmates to do exactly the same thing.
It also pisses me off that some of my colleagues display racist and/or xenophobic attitudes to my students at all. These kids do drive me up the tree half the time - this is par for the course with them being teenagers, I'm still quite fond of them and a bit protective of them for some strange reason.

"Blacks" do not have an innate dialect. Dialect depends on WHERE you are from, not what your skin color is.
This teacher fails his own subject.

This guy kinda reminded me of this woman teacher I had back in the seventh grade.
Except she was arabian and hated white people.
