Milestone: The First Black Female Educator of New York
<p>Imagine being one of few black female teachers, in educational institutions where whyte teachers seemed to have little expectation for student’s achievements. Then picture this situation when the largest cohort of students are black, brown, minorities, and from some of the poorest areas of London.</p>
<p>This was my experience and I always used to ask myself, why did they apply to work here if that’s their attitude as an educator? Why did they even enter this profession?</p>
<p>As an ex secondary school (high school) teacher, I spent a little over ten years observing the misconceptions about black, brown, and minority students and their ability. It was disappointing and frustrating to say the least. Teacher’s expectations were so low, you couldn't pass a piece of paper under it.</p>
