    Post: Racism in the classroom

    Posted by Angela/SC on 9/03/08

    Good afternoon!

    I am hoping you all can help me. :) My 4th block children
    are racist. I've had to send two out of the class for being
    disrespectful to me - calling me a racist term. They did
    not think that calling me a "Cracker" was a racist comment.
    To me, it is very racist and unacceptable to refer to me
    than anything other than Mrs.Mylast name.

    They are also very disrespectful to my other students who
    simply look at them like they're crazy. I have called
    parents because of behavior and language (as well as the
    ISS). Parents are not very responsive, one mother hung up
    on me today.

    Has anyone else ever experienced this kind of racism by
    students? This is 8th grade. I plan to bring it up at my
    dept. meeting tomorrow and I really think it is something
    that should be addressed by the admin. I am almost certain
    that it is not isolated to my class.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you all so much & Have a great day!
