I dont think we should justify peoples assumptions about children or about schools under any circumstances. At the same time, i think you have to recognize probably the difficulty for somebody who has no experience both of the south or of poverty or of our Public Schools and doesnt know the craft of teaching. They probably have, as you would know because youve taught, right . They have a lot to learn. And i just hope that people come to schools with humility, understanding that theyre not there to impose their will or vision onto the children or the schools. Made assumptions about the students and their capabilities and it is a recurring issue over time. I want to add something from my city with a 4000 population. We have a Votech Center.

Somehow it was about me which is, i think, a tendency of any young person who is 22, but especially someone who comes and does a Service Teaching program that has a year or twoyear stint. And i think, i think that the answer is that people coming in need to be more humble and to do better.
