Now is the time for teachers to face honestly the basic |
|
problem within ghetto schools--that black parents, |
|
children, and leaders do not like or trust their schools |
|
or the white staffs of the schools because the schools |
|
have done nothing to deserve their trust. Reasons for the |
|
failure of the schools to adequately educate over 10% of |
|
graduating Negro children lie within the educational |
|
structure and the teachers' attitudes. Teachers who will |
|
strike for pay, better working conditions, and extra |
|
benefits will remain silent about racist textbooks. |
|
Supervisors instruct teachers to remain aloof and formal |
|
in all contact with the black community. Also responsible |
|
are the teachers' colleges and schools of education which |
|
fail to psychologically and intellectually prepare the |
|
majority of teachers for the reality of ghetto schools. |
|
Many idealistic young people active in the Peace Corps, |
|
Civil Rights Movement, and Freedom Schools are not |
|
allowed to teach in inner city schools because they lack |
|
the required education courses. But teacher participation |
|
must take place because only teachers who are personally |
|
involved on the side of the black community can make |
|
education work in the ghetto classroom. (JM) |
