How Will You Deal WIth Race?
As a teacher, it is important to address the issue of race among students, administrators, and colleagues. As a teacher they should be comfortable enough to bring this issue up because it is an ongoing issue. Most people tend to be uncomfortable about this subject when it's just reality. Students tend to distance their self from the conversation when the teacher is the opposite race. Example, a class where majority of the students are African American and the teacher is Caucasian and the teacher tries to bring up a conversation about race its going to be awkward and uncomfortable.
It's a little different with administrations for the simply fact that their grown. They know racism is and has been a very controversy topic. If they can't talk about the issue among each other, how do we expect them to bring it up in a classroom where you have people from all different cultures, raised with different opinions about the topic, and some might be immature about it. So it takes a well structure group.
