Black students talking back to teachers may not be a sign of disrespect, says diversity consultant Tim Wise, but can show engagement, as when churchgoers respond to ministers.

Myers Park's Bill Anderson called the gap "absolutely not" acceptable. He wants to expand training for teachers to better understand the culture of poverty, which he believes plays a role.

How stupid can these clowns be?

The problem is NOT the teachers. As pointed out earlier in the article:

"A lot of children don't show behavior appropriate for school," she says. "We have kids who haven't learned that you're respectful to teachers, you don't curse in class, you don't get up and walk around."

The lefties are not helping the underprivileged by sanctioning antisocial behavior. Doing that only perpetuates their plight.

I just love it when a plan comes together.

Truly amazing. All Whites are rich – even in North Carolina, and all Blacks are poor.
