Consequently, there's a literal race to flee these schools. And new research confirms it. A recent study in the Journal of Labor Economics boldly asserted that American teachers generally do not favor teaching African-American students from high-poverty backgrounds and as soon as there is an influx of these students into their school they leave (at least those teachers competitive enough to secure employment in a Whiter and\/or more affluent, higher achieving district). As a result, schools with large percentages of Black and poor students tend to have lower quality teachers and find it more difficult to attract new high-quality teachers. Of course, few educators-if any-would ever be so candid to admit openly such a thing, particularly in allegedly post-racial America (assuming we're still bothering to make this allegation post-Trump election). But as has universally been the case, actions continue to speak louder than excuse-based facades. And their actions are saying that very few teachers (with \"better\" options) genuinely want to teach Black kids. Even the notion of \"better options\" implies teaching at a Whiter, more affluent school. As soon as an opportunity to not teach Black kids comes about, very few teachers (regardless of race) reject said opportunity. Most teachers seem trapped by tenure-inflated salaries in quasi-suburban or even rural school districts that perhaps once were far \"less Black and poor,\" but after unique demographic shifts have become much more \"urban-like.\" Others appear stuck in one of too many urban charter schools that promised something patently different only to deliver the same exact emotional tone common to urban public schools: a stagnant mix of disappointment, frustration, and hopelessness amidst a sea of young, destitute Black faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 03, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48711588610297,"sku":"9780998064505","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/d7ofvqr0-W9780998064505.webp?v=1784983502","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/why-nobody-wants-to-teach-black-kids-beyond-blaming-bad-teachers-traditional-racism-and-black-students-themselves-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
