Why Kids of Color Don't Need ‘White Hero’ Teachers

Why Kids of Color Don't Need 'White Hero' TeachersMeanwhile, black and Latino public school students are more than twice as likely to attend underfunded, under-resourced, largely segregated schools, and integration with whites, even in gentrified areas, is more concept than reality. At the same time, research shows that a white person teaching minority kids probably doesn't have high expectations of them even before the first homework assignments or test sheets are handed in. The big picture, then, becomes a dismal paradox: As economists predict most well-paying jobs in the near future will require at least an associate's degree or certificate, minority kids are at risk of being stuck in a cycle of poverty that only a quality education can break.
