As a school psych, I can't even comment on how absurd that entire conversation was (or the idea that kids are lining up for crayons!) <br /><br />But just because you have one bad experience doesn't mean that the whole field is bad.

Our new principal insisted that our school colors could NOT be red, white, and black, even though those are the colors used on all of our folders, T-shirts, decorations, etc. He said it would remind the public that 95% of our student population are African Americans. He is also African American.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11467244.post-58772283226694851612009-02-16T07:51:00.000-05:002009-02-16T07:51:00.000-05:00Hi Anonymous,As the spouse of a primary education ...Hi Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>As the spouse of a primary education teacher who teaches to classes of 95% african-american children, I am wondering about how are you made the connection between your statement and what I had posted? <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, but I just don't see that connection, I didn't read any racial intent or identification in what Dierdre wrote.Chris Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265018778273203357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11467244.post-8218011003861161642009-02-16T01:32:00.000-05:002009-02-16T01:32:00.000-05:00as a BLACK teacher of children with exceptional ne...as a BLACK teacher of children with exceptional needs & services.
