How Do White Teachers Treat Black Students?

White math teachers treat students differently in predominantly black schools. White math teachers in predominantly black middle schools are more likely to respond negatively to students' behavioral or academic issues - and this may have long-term negative consequences for student performance, according to a new study that highlights the need to recruit more black teachers. The study, published recently in Harvard Educational Review, observed video data collected from 2009-2011 of 25 mathematics classrooms in middle schools that were either predominantly white or black.

Students Black Treat Teachers White How

Race and stereotyping will always be a problem, but what's even worse is that if there are less factors for the students and teachers to connect or get alone - you'll end up having a chaotic situation. I'm not supporting either side of this, but I'm saying that if there's no proper relationship then we might have a certain degree of bias and unfairness at the end of the day.
