literacy is a struggle
we live in a country that values capital over literacy. If you& #39;re an educator you have to have patience. You are in a position that can easily destroy someone& #39;s self worth and confidence if your students don& #39;t understand something that you do.
there are grown people who should know better. J Cole is one of them- however I am more interested in the climate of education in America than I am in two well-known people having some minor beef with each other.
it& #39;s produced some interesting and revealing responses today that I& #39;ve seen- let me tell you.
I don& #39;t know many times I& #39;ve encountered this from elementary school to college, from teachers- Black, white, and POC.
I had a Black male teacher who continually bragged about how he had a PHD in psychology for a Black studies course who hit on me and pitted his students against each other.
I had a white teacher who told us we had the math skills of 3rd graders in college in my remedial class. I had a Black psych teacher (who was married to a judge) that loved to make an example of me when I didn& #39;t understand her material and asked questions.
