It's so hard to be woke. It's just a lot of rules to remember. I wish they'd just kill off all of us white people and be done with it.

Are you serious? What is your definition and what is your source? My source is the American Heritage Dictionary, 2nd edition. There is no such word as 'otherize'.

Seriously, you are going with the 2nd Edition of the American Heritage Dictionary? Did you ever think about whose "Heritage" they are using for that dictionary? Also it is well know that the 2nd edition is by far the most racist edition.

One of the more subtle but powerful ways that White teachers inject racism into our schools is in how we engage with names that are different than those we grew up knowing.


Aren't a lot of these made up names different than what EVERYONE "grew up knowing"?

Don’t know why I clicked on this but I’ll comment on one.

quote:

1. Lowering or Raising Achievement Expectations Based on Race/Ethnicity

It’s probably best to start with one of the more common and obvious ways that racism can enter teaching practice: our expectations of student ability and achievement.
Whether we acknowledge it or not, we are constantly inundated with racist messaging about what students can and can’t achieve.
Whether we see media narratives about the math prodigy Asian students or the “ghetto” Black students who are reading 5 grade levels behind, we end up getting pretty clear messages long before we start teaching about what our student can handle.
In my own teaching, I know that I had a hard time actually teaching my students within theirZPDs because I was told from before I even started teaching that they simply weren’t capable of writing complex papers about world events. But they could! All it took was coordinated effort from multiple teachers pushing them as hard as we could!


Ok, I’m with you here. Don’t base teaching on stereotypes and generalizations and see what you are actually dealing with. Fair enough.


quote:

We know that the expectations students are held to often correlate less to their ability than their race and class, so what should we do about it?


Wait, expectations correlate to race and class and not ability? Ok, I’ll hear you out.

quote:

What to Do Instead

First, we need to spend some serious time reflecting about our own internalized biases. We all have them (not sure about yours? Consider taking this test!). And if we are working to understand our biases, then we can begin to mitigate their effects.


Ok, I suppose everyone does have some natural preferences. We are human.

quote:

Second, we need to be sure that we are using effective, non-culturally-biased measures to determine student ability and to push them to their zones of proximal development. By making sure we are basing the ways we push our students in data drawn from legitimate (if limiting)measures, we can hopefully use that data to check some of our own biases.


Effective, non-culturally-biased measures? What the hell is that? You mean not testing the material? So we’re not supposed to judge a book by the cover, but are supposed to customize measures without cultural-bias? Of course one would have to be classified in some capacity in order to avoid treating them as such. This is ridiculous.

No, google the 'word' otherize. It is an ebonic, made-up word in which the definition doesn't make any sense. Again, what is the source for your definition?
