Study: Teachers don't like teaching black kids

[Gregorio]

BTW, CMT is all White, Telemundo is Hispanic, Spike is guys, Lifetime is chics, etc.....

CMT is Country Music Television, not White Entertainment Television. And before you say all country is white or somethin like that...Darius Rucker.

"Guys" and "chics" aren't races. Telemundo targets an audience who speaks Spanish...it's not a stereotypical race based television network like BET.

and anyone who likes hip-hop is targeted by BET.

IBT; You're a racist!!11


Just to put this out there, my girlfriend is black.

Back to the main post:

black students think they're tough and school is a place where you have fun and can dick around and be handed a diploma. its a place of learning. i live/lived in a poor neighborhood, and i know that there is something deff. wrong with the mind set of black students in highschool, in poor neighborhoods. Case in point; i felt very bad when one of my favorite teachers left the school after having a nervous breakdown because one student cursed her out, and threatened to have her jumped. black students in a 'ghetto' neighborhood/school aren't fun people to teach. i approve of the findings in this study goodjob /science/ and i also approved of the classifying of races, that guy should have been given another nobel piece prize! (kinda off topic but idc just how i feel lol)








go teachers dont stand up for this ignorance!(lol)

If you have ever watched BET, you'll quickly realize that it's not only HipHop music, but showcasing pretty much black reality shows, predominantly black movies, black documentaries... pretty much anything blackified that's on tv. Besides, trying to cover for it by saying it targets hiphop listeners is retarded, there are plenty of other channels that target hiphop, it's clearly a race-based channel.

A WET though? That would be racist!

And what does CMT show? entertainment that appeals to a predominately white demographic, just as Spike caters to a predominately male demographic, Lifetime to a predominately female demographic, Telemundo to a predominately Hispanic demographic, and there's a gay channel too (forget the name though).

LOGO, excellent shows like "Hard Cops".

and there's a gay channel too (forget the name though).

I don't like teaching kids of chav scum parents who will come up to the school and threaten to punch my lights out and I don't appreciate being sworn at and squared up to by kids on a daily basis - couldn't particularly give a shit if the child doing it is black, white, pink, purple or green to be honest. Yep there are certain schools and areas around here I'll refuse to go to as a sub (or more likely I'll go but only to the youngest age groups in the school) - they're not the largely ethnically mixed areas - they're mainly white chav areas to be honest. They're schools that experienced teachers won't apply for jobs in, so they're staffed by inexperienced teachers all working on getting the hell out of there so the places are getting steadily worse.

When I've gone to the more multicultural areas around here, even the ones with pretty notorious reputations - I've actually had a really good day covering there to be honest - but 99% of what makes a school good or shit as a cover teacher is the attitude of management and parents - if management let the parents run the show and treat the staff like shit the school's on a one way ticket to shitsville. In the sub teacher community at least we all talk and share stories as well - there are schools round here wondering why it's hard to get supplies in and it's because we've all shared what's gone off and decided no one needs the day's pay that badly. Fuck that - I work to live, I don't live to work.

At the end of the day at least over here what teachers get paid is set nationally - you earn naff all extra for working in an utter hellhole of a school - so most people will look for a nice place to end up in. I decided long ago that I had no fucking ambition to reenact Dangerous Minds (but with kids who really fucking hate you and actively seek to make your life hell and that lovely pastime of "terroring" that they call it now) and I'd only ever go back to working full-time in a decent school where kids either wanted to be there or their parents were damned sure they were going to fucking be there.

Race don't come into it.

I teach English in Korea, and it's completely different here. Discipline issues are much less severe than they are in the States. Know why?

1) Corporal punishment is officially illegal, but widely ignored. If a kid fucks up, he knows he's going to feel some pain from both the disciplinarian (yes, they still do exist!) and his parents. Classic operant conditioning. And it works, despite what the whiny liberals say. This is less practiced in elementary school than middle and high school.

2) The culture is education gone mad. The kids go to academies after school so that they can have a shot at getting in one of the best universities. Every day around test day, there's always some suicides from kids who didn't make it.

3) Homogeneity. No different cultures = no conflict.

Of course, that isn't to say that Korea is some magical wonderland. There are still issues with education here - fake degrees, rampant cheating, and so on.
