“A group of social scientists recently went over the records of 100,000 black students in North Carolina over a 5 year period. They found that having even one black teacher between the third and fifth grade reduced the chance that an African-American boy would later drop out of high school. By how much? By 39%. One black teacher. Now does this mean that white teachers are diabolical racist trying to hold down black students? No, this isn’t conscious discrimination. The point is that teachers have power, they’re gatekeepers, they control the classroom, they decide who gets recommended for prizes like gifted programs and who doesn’t, they decide who stays and who gets suspended. By directing their attention to a child, a teacher can inspire. By ignoring another or sending him more
“I came across another archive of interviews from the Brown era; Duke University’s Behind the Veil oral history project. The interview you’re hearing is from Richmond, Virginia. It’s with an African-American teacher named Celestine Porter and she says that once you grant this idea, that a teacher is a gatekeeper and that a child needs someone to take an interest in them, then that means integration should’ve been pursued very differently. They made students do the
those white schools, and at every one of the black schools, if they’re going to send the white children to the black schools, they should have had white teachers out
should’ve had some black teachers there. Now, the first people that should’ve been integrated should have been teachers and administrations first, but they didn’t do that; they moved the children.”
