What is it Like to Teach Black Students?

[Drawing-slim]

Just put 'Moroccans, Algerians and Senegalese kids in French schools', 'Turkish, Albanian, Lebanese and Kurd kids in German schools', 'Assyrian, Lebanese and Somali kids in Swedish schools', 'Pakistani, Indian and Jamaican kids in Britain's schools' etc. instead of 'Blacks in US-American schools' and the whole description of this teacher would perfectly fit.

I've no idea what the fuck you're trying to say but schools in Albania even during the most worst times the country went through the kids are very well behaved, like the "whitest" of white behaved.

Personally I grew up in Albanian school system. We got up every time a teacher walked in a classroom.
When the teachers spoke you could hear a pin drop.

I didn't read the article I just assumed the article speaks about kids and teenagers and average MENA teenager in Western Europe doesn't act differently from average Afram teenager. Same heated, aggressive, masculine 'ghetto-macho' mentality.

yes as 12 year olds

no honestly...i dont say that you are wrong but it isnt entirely true either because you exeggerate it and you guys know me somewhat now and i am always honest and the first one to admit things.

i really doubt that it is comparable to aframs in usa also

I find it hard to believe that Turks, Levantines, etc. behave the same way as the article. Here the Lebanese act more like the people on Jersey Shore, not "ghetto" blacks.

You know how to read? I am not talking about Albanian youths in Albania but about Balkan youths in general living in Western European countries. They have the same bad reputation among German, Dutch, Austrian, Switzerland people as Afram youths in the USA. If you don't believe me ask people who live in Germany, Switzerland, Austria etc. and I can post crime statistics, documentations etc. about young immigrant youths from the Balkan area, besides MENA youths and SSA youths in Western European countries showing their typical 'ghetto' behavior. US ghettos are filled with Aframs? Let me tell you German 'ghettos' are filled with Balkan and MENA people. You get me now?

I think many of the things in the article are a result of African Americans' historical oppression. Not all but some.

But LOL at this.. so much for mrswan and anyone on here believing in people of color uniting to defeat the white man... this is exactly what I suspected and I knew I was right.

My black students had nothing but
contempt for Hispanic immigrants. They
would vent their feelings so crudely
that our department strongly advised us
never to talk about immigration in class
in case the principal or some outsider
might overhear.

Whites were “racis’,” of course, but
they thought of us at least as Americans.
Not the Mexicans. Blacks have a certain,
not necessarily hostile understanding of
white people. They know how whites
act, and it is clear they believe whites
are smart and are good at organizing
things. At the same time, they probably
suspect whites are just putting on an
act when they talk about equality, as if
it is all a sham that makes it easier for
whites to control blacks. Blacks want a
bigger piece of the American pie. I’m
convinced that if it were up to them
they would give whites a considerably
smaller piece than whites get now, but
they would give us something. They
wouldn’t give Mexicans anything.

My observations with this is that most of the schools should be closed as they are a waste of tax dollars. Not to mention most of the students in them are dead beats. Its something we must face in black America that many of them are dead beats.

I can remember high school in the city, the school I attended was 30% Black and 50% Latino, it was a nightmare going to school. Only Caucasian students generalyl did well why the black students [not all but many] were classroom distractions as they caused more problems for instructors and refused to do any work. Thug life was more appealing to them and low and behold many of them today live 'thug life' and are in jail. I did not see one of them do anything extrodinary with their lives.

Yes of course I think myself that Aframs take it to another level but you know damn well how we(I include you and me) around the age of 16 to 25 and even older act.....an average German at that age usually never engages into a fist fight after verbal abuse and rather calls the cops....an average Kurd, Albo, Eritrean, Lebo, Russian at that age usually pulls out a knife in such a situation. You know....different mentality.

The ghetto culture is majorly dysfunctional. I agree.

You racis', it's because I'm Black.
