Minority teachers have significantly higher quit rates than non-minority teachers.

Here's that ugly kernel of truth, folks: when the going gets tough, whites and Asians hang in there. I'm sorry, but we just do. It's part of our culture, this idea that you dig in your claws and hang on like a pitbull. Certain other cultures have a "hey, don't strain yourself" attitude toward... well, just about everything. I have come to this conclusion over many decades of observation and I did not WANT to come to this conclusion, but it's unavoidable. I don't consider myself racist, because it's not genetic as far as I know. But I am definitely ethnocentric, because it's culture. I mean... I am a teacher. I teach mostly Latinos. A full third of them won't come to school if it's raining.

Seriously, raining. I grew up in the northern Midwest, and we waited for the school bus in the dark in 3 feet of snow. These kids? Ooo, it's raining.

What does rain have to do with anything? You get your buttocks to school regardless.

I had friends who taught in the New Orleans public school system. They told me 30 years ago that when it rains, the Blacks didn’t go to school.
