The one teacher that you always remember...

His family just moved to the U.S. He is a Latino male entering the 7th grade. His teachers, the administrators, the counselors expect him to fail; their reasons are simply because Latino males either drop out of school, then go to jail or drop out, then go into the labor working field. Yet, there was one teacher who daily told her class that did not matter what their race is, all received the highest expectations from her. She was the only teacher that had expectations of him.
  • What are other methods for teachers/administators and other students can do to change the racial stereotypes in connection to school achievement?

  • Please feel free to share comments/questions on the issues of race and school achievement, and what we as a society can do to change it.
