“Who’s going to address our trauma? Who’s going to address our social emotional needs?” Seward says. “We’re supposed to be OK because we’re the adults.”
Oh, hey, they answered their own question correctly in their following statement.
I did some contract work at a nearly 100% black school about 15 years ago. Spent at least 90 days there over the course of a year. IT work, not with students. I can say without doubt that was the worst school I've ever seen. Students, teachers, administration, all of it was atrocious. The staff was almost all black as well, I think the IT guy on staff was the only white guy.
It was very rural, so it's not all what you'd expect of the living on the streets, gang violence, etc. I will say though the way I ended up there first was I was a sub-sub-contractor for a company to upgrade the security camera system to DVR equipment. This was the first school I'd ever seen with cameras damn near everywhere, and I'd been working with a company that provided services to schools and probably been to two dozen different schools by that point. So that right there tells you something, generally the student populace was an unruly mob.
Otherwise, I spent more time there in the summer and on school breaks than during classes, so there's not nearly as much to tell. I will say that a lot of the teachers and administration were just plain stupid. I remember the first day I was there the IT guy was telling me about how a meeting the superintendent of the district kept asking for "vanilla" folders. (By the way she was damn near the stupidest of the bunch, one time I was there working with IT guy and he got called over to fix her printer. She had turned it off...) A lot of my stories would be second hand that I heard working with him really. Graduation rate was nearly non-existent. I remember once being told that elementary school girls would bring up in like "career day" that they were just going to drop out and be hookers.
The whole damn school was kept about as well as you'd expect. It was a trashy shitbox. I mean nothing was well kept. They got all their IT money from federal programs, so they had a lot of that, mainly because it was free to them. The few staff that tried were about out of energy from beating their heads against a brick wall.
If I recall I heard a few years ago that it was shut down due to one of those school consolidations. No doubt rolled into the nearby mostly white schools to bring them down.
Call me naive but even if you are low IQ the best thing for you would be to be pushed and not to be coddled. I’m average intelligence but thank God my parents hated that sort of victim mentality.
But holding them to any standard is attacked as racist so you are right about meritocracy.
Whining about your cushy job for the government seems unreasonable when your concerns are not getting killed an eaten by the Bantu who think you're some sort of monkey. Good God, Africa is a shithole.
As with so many aspects of life, Black adults serve multiple roles in schools—and not all of them are visible. Children of color are, widely, more academically successful when they have a Black principal, and that success continues down the ladder. Black students who learned from a Black teacher in elementary school are more likely to graduate from high school and enroll in college—13% more likely if they had one Black teacher, and more than double that at 32% if they had at least two.
So much for that "diversity is our strength" deal you always harp on about. You've argued in favor of segregation with this paragraph, stating that blacks can only succeed if they have their own schools staffed by their own people. Actually, no, more than that, you've implied black superiority over all the other minorities by outright stating that all pee-oh-sees benefit from a black principal, implying that a black authority figure is better for an Indian, Native American, Latin American, or East-Asian student than one matching their own race would be.
It's bullshit though. The vast majority of kids in school do not give a fuck about the principal. Most kids will never meet the asshole in person, and those that do are most definitely academically screwed anyway. To most, the principal is just that fucker who delivers a canned speech for the usual assemblies that no one wants to be in. Ditto for the teachers; most students don't want to put up with them and will never respect them no matter what race they are. And in this day and age, the vast majority of faculty doesn't give a fuck about the students either.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SO-CALLED TRAUMA YOU'RE DEALING WITH?! This article didn't cite one specific thing to cause stress and trauma for teachers. The closest it says is the difficulty of having to transition to remote-learning. Yeah, I'll bet you dealt with a lot of trauma and stress sitting in front of a computer at home. Probably because you had to divide your attention between that and your Netflix binge.
Overall, the RAND survey found a lot of job-related stress among teachers. The percentage of teachers who reported “frequent job-related stress and symptoms of depression” was much higher than the general adult population.
Poor teachers have stress. Their poor 2-month-long vacations and their poor six figure salaries and their poor retiring-at-50. They don't even get to have full-grown adult men screaming in their face and threatening to kill them, like most public-facing employees do, which is a real loss on their part, because clearly that lowers stress.

I would love to hear your horror stories.

Yeah, manila I believe is correct. For a 50-something supposed superintendent of a school district it's pretty dumb.
Because education is so racist against black people? Education is one of the most leftist institutions, what are they on about?
And her "mental health", "stress" and "emotional needs" should be handled the same as all of ours. I doubt her job is more stressful then mine.
ohhh nooooo. commmeee baaccckkk. weee neeed youuuuu
Flat out embarrassing. They have honestly convinced themselves that the world is against them. That takes a lot of victim mentality
When you’re a sub-85 IQ retard, meritocracy feels very oppressive.

Are those little guys really real? Mom told me they were CGI.
What is worse is that they are going to tell others the same. Nothing helps you succeed like being told the entire world is designed to keep you down.
Yep. I think a lot of people need a course on what actual oppression looks like
Black fragility is real.

Yes, give into the victim mentality, let it flow through you!
