American school kids prefer teachers of color, a new study shows.
As the demographic make-up of US students has tipped toward a minority-majority, much has been made of the contrast seen in the nation's predominantly white body of teachers. For the first time, educators now have a glimpse of what that racial imbalance might mean to middle and high school students, thanks to new analysis conducted by researchers at New York University.
Using survey data compiled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the researchers canvassed the thoughts of more than 50,000 students about 1,680 teachers.
The survey data included students' rankings of their teachers based on "7Cs" – Challenge, Classroom Management, Care, Confer, Captivate, Clarify, and Consolidate. Importantly, the researchers note, students were asked to give feedback on specific teachers, not the overall teacher workforce at their school. This meant researchers could control for other reasons students may prefer certain teachers.
Among key findings, the research suggests that students feel they relate to teachers of color better than their white counterparts, and that, in turn, this may create an environment more conducive to learning.
"This study provides empirical evidence that at least from the student perspective, there is something really different going on," study author Hua-Yu Sebastian Cherng, an assistant professor of international education at NYU, told the New York Daily News.
Currently, the American teacher workforce is overwhelmingly white. In 34 states, the demographic gap between minority students and their white teachers is more than 20 percentage points, and some studies suggest this gap is growing. The gap is particularly pronounced in urban centers like New York. The Big Apple has an 85 percent racial/ethnic minority public school population, but only 40 percent of its teachers are non-white – a 45 percentage-point differential.

that seems to support the theory that better rapport will help increase learning.
Serrated schools are what they want. Full circle from the early sixties.
Um, go to college, get an education degree, apply for jobs. I teach down south & all of the teaching assistants are black. Most of them have taken the Praxis teaching exam multiple times & cannot pass it. When I say it is pretty darn easy, that’s because it is. Quite a few of these women have gone on to get an online masters & still cannot pass said test. I can’t imagine what they owe for the online degree that will do nothing for them.
I use it in some cases.
E.g., I don’t have to listen to George Will. He RINO.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Students want teacher ‘like us’.
We want ignorant, immature, emotionally driven mush brains to teach us.
Have no fear I’m sure the day is not to far away when they will implement quotas for hiring teachers...
Then I suppose you want to continue to be dumb SOBs!
Yes, and we should do it. You want black teachers, good, all your students will be black. You want black police, good, all your streets will be patrolled by black police.
Now STFU about racism.
Wasn’t that tried long ago, something about “separate but equal”?
It seems to me that what is promoted here is the re-introduction of SEGREGATED SCHOOLS, returning the United States to the days of JIM CROW.
From afar, that rumble you hear is former Gov. George Wallace applauding.
The hypocrisy is if WHITE students polled and claimed that they wanted their teacher to look like THEM, the country would explode.
“bsck forn”?
Type slower SR!
The solution:
REVERSE BUSING!!!
and Black School Bus Drivers, and Black Nurses.
“Serrated schools”
Funny typo!
They are racists.
These idiots are truly embracing the Nazi race philosophy whole hog. What fools they are.
Given that the BLM is also demanding separate dorms, separate rec areas, separation in events from whites for their comfort ... the logical solution is strict segregation of blacks from whites.
Whether you say it is for the comfort of blacks or safety of whites from black violence is your decision - but between continued black racist violence against whites and calls for open discrimination in public by them, they’ll see Brown vs Board of Education reversed if BLM keeps this up.
Funny how times change,
Now minorities insist on segregation in every way,
