What I particularly like about the article is that it’s not a rant and it avoids simplistic solutions. It also acknowledges that even black teachers can have the behavior. Which reminds me of the time many years ago when St. John’s was looking at the contention that teachers call on male students more than females. As I visited classes, I found the contention to be generally true–even with female teachers.
At the time, I was surprised. I have since learned that it’s very possible to be socially conditioned in spite of oneself (as it were). Which, again, supports the need for reflection on, more than mere acceptance of, social norms.
