Niģģas Already Knew This : "White Teachers Have Lower Expectations Of Black Students Study Suggests"

[Mowgli]

Black parents can't rely on these cacs to properly educate the babies. As much as we're in the church the pastors should have tutoring programs to assist the kids with staying current and competitive with their peers. You gotta take the education of your childnintonyour hands because expecting a cac to do right by your kid is never a good idea unless they going toothed NBA or NFL meaning unless there is a way your kids will benefit the cac

To piggy back off this, Tariq just had a good show regarding ghetto names. Even had a debate with an educator from Arizona regarding the issue.

How about you worry about the black men we see everyday who bash black women.People who are actually on this earth and not my imaginary children,

I already do. I can multitask.

You will matter if you go against the black community. Enemies always matter.

 

[old_timer]

i'm more internal focused- i manipulate my environment to make the best of things
personally i don't wait around taking cues from other people

story #1
my siblings would sleep or blow it off..
but i can remember 8, 9, 10 years old being the first up every morning to catch the early bus
to make sure i had a seat for the breakfast program
i didn't know the importance of nutrition in developing children
but i found myself (and saw kids do it) falling asleep at 10am
even if my stomach wasn't growling,, i was like "that's not normal"
so i took action

story #2
years later.. i was on full scholarship at an out-of-state university
and my new school actually made me take THEIR state's GED exam
because my jr high + h.s were viewed as shaky (failing test scores)
so even if you "earned" the diploma, no one else considered it legit

i could have felt insulted or demotivated- that they "didn't believe in me"
instead, i took it as a warning- and did all those extra free "how to study" "time management" "be organized" classes my university offered
"oh, so that's how you take notes during a lecture"
point being- i took action

story #3 (last one)
for all her other faults, my mother was a reader --
nothing highbrow or fancy but she always had reading material nearby and would use it for gap time
and my father had a notebook system-
he'd make a note to himself anytime he heard or came across something he didn't know (and figure it out later)

no one ever suggested emulating those habits was a good idea
all of my siblings had the same exposure
yet i was the only one who took action
and continue both of these habits to the present day

if i think about it, being internally focused is usually what gets me favored status from other people (the point of the article in post #1)
they can plainly see i'm doing what i can for myself
..so when they put in effort on my behalf
people are assuming it won't go to waste
even altruistic people want to feel their efforts mattered

White Teachers Have Lower Expectations of Black Students, Leading to Lower Student Performance, Study Shows

Teachers have a big impact on the success of students, as their support — or lack thereof — helps chart a course for young minds. When one factors race into the equation, the consequences can be particularly devastating for Black students who are subjected to white teachers who doubt their ability and question their potential for success.

A new study to be published in theEconomics of Education Review found that when teachers have lower expectations of their students, these can translate into self-fulfilling prophecies. If teachers don’t expect their students to achieve, this could impact student performance, especially disadvantaged children who may not have role models to counter a teacher’s low expectations. The study —“Who believes in me? The effect of student-teacher demographic match on teacher expectations” — was co-authored by Nicholas Papageorge, an economist in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University; Seth Gershenson, assistant professor of public policy at American University; and Stephen B. ****, a doctoral student at American University.

The trio focused on data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002, which examined 8,400 10th-grade public school students. In the study, Black and white teachers were asked to assess the students and predict the level of education they believed the students would attain. While the teachers made the same predictions concerning white students, they differed in their assessment of Black students.

Johns Hopkins University

Specifically, the study found that white and other non-Black teachers were 12 percentage points more likely than their Black counterparts to predict Black students would not graduate from high school. In addition, non-Black teachers were 5 percent more likely to predict Black boys’ failure to graduate than Black girls.

When a white teacher and a Black teacher assessed the same Black student, the white teacher was 30 percent less likely to predict the student will graduate with a four-year college degree. Moreover, the white teacher was nearly 40 percent less likely to expect the Black student to complete high school.

Further, white male teachers are 10 to 20 percent more likely to have low expectations for Black girls. But Black female teachers are considerably more optimistic about the ability of Black boys to succeed than any other group. Black women teachers were 20 percent less likely than white teachers to say a student would not graduate, and 30 percent less likely than Black male teachers.

The study also revealed that math teachers had significantly lower expectations for female students. And as for Black students, especially Black boys, biased expectations have long-term effects on students. A non-Black teacher in a 10th grade class made Black students far less likely to pursue that particular subject by taking similar classes.

“What we find is that white teachers and Black teachers systematically disagree about the exact same student,” Papageorge said of the research. “One of them has to be wrong.”

“If I’m a teacher and decide that a student isn’t any good, I may be communicating that to the student,” Papageorge added. “A teacher telling a student they’re not smart will weigh heavily on how that student feels about their future and perhaps the effort they put into doing well in school.”

The authors believe that these findings have far-reaching implications beyond education, extending to the workplace and beyond.

“While the evidence of systematic racial bias in teachers’ expectations uncovered in the current study are certainly troubling and provocative, they also raise a host of related, policy-relevant questions that our research team plans to address in the near future,” Gershenson said. “For example, we are currently studying the impact of these biased expectations on students’ long-run outcomes such as educational attainment, labor market success, and interaction with the criminal justice system.”

This most recent study comes as others have already sounded the alarm on the crisis of a lack of teacher diversity in public schools across the U.S., and the role of teacher bias in the paucity of Black students in gifted and talented programs. While white and Asian students dominate these advanced classes, the presence of Black teachers increases the likelihood of Black students being placed in these programs threefold.

As Atlanta Black Star has reported in the past, of the over 3 million public school teachers in America, more than 80 percent of them are white women. This racial imbalance has an impact, particularly with regard to the instruction of Black boys, leading to lower-quality instruction and lower grades, more referrals to special education, and far more expulsions and suspensions




We were antagonized from Day 1 aside from Home/Enviromental issues nikkas no longer have the opportunity to achieve a righteous education in this Country.

If U a Black Poster (Or even a Mf Guest) on The Coli currently wit a Baby be sure yo Child understands its roots nd the value of bein Black.

Incorporate Math/Readin/Homework at a young age don't allow dem to leave the House dumb.

If U got the prowess Homeschool em.

Either Black Education or your child becomes a Slave to society.

They fear an intelligent Black Individual.

I didn't read the article yet, but my general feeling on the headline is that:

This has everything to do with perception and unfortunately leads to self-fulfilling prophecy.

I don't blame the individual teachers, much of the world is brainwashed in this way.

Yes and no . This is coming from someone who went to predominantly white schools for the most part growing up.


My best teachers I had growing up were white but a few of my worst were too. Not all of them go the stereotypical route . It's not many , but I'll never forget the ones who believed in me and pushed me unlike those other ones


Not all black teachers are going to help you either. My high school counselor was black and a scumbag

 

[filial_piety]

nikkas in inner city schools gotta work harder

I still think that a lot of these problems are a reflection of the parent's expectations of their own children.

You can see the clear contrast in many immigrant homes of all races in comparison to parents in this country with both black and white students.

Asian, African, Indian, Arab households etc don't play that "teachers have low expectations of our children" card....they aint tryna hear that BS, in their minds...you had best get them A's or else.

Gotta co-sign this. People forgetting about the c00ns who gas up white students.

I've only had one black American teacher my entire life.

I had quite a few black teachers when I lived in Africa and the Caribbean obviously.


And I will say this, if you're just inherently smart, white teachers will try to nurture you and gas you up. I think the OP is more about average/slightly below avg black students who need encouragement to succeed.

Why have you resigned yourself to the "fact" that your kids will be in public school?

Two, I don't want yall dumb ass babies rubbing off on mines.

The feeling is mutual.

Government still has a hand in private education, and doesn't stray too far off the mark of what the government does, considering most textbooks are made in "Noah's Ark really happened" Texas.
