The racial assumption made me nauseated. Totally nauseated. I hope the boys continue to thrive and do well. I’m dying to know what happened to broken arm kid. The racial assumption made me nauseated.

They were difficult conversations that I felt comfortable having because I know them and I prodded and pushed them to bring their A game. They have agreed and I will check on them to see that they do. To answer WSG, I don't know if there are other students "doing just fine" in class yet because it's far too soon to tell - part of the point I was making. If they had been in class a few weeks and she had assessed them fairly then I would gladly look at the data she has to prove that they were incorrectly placed. Come To Jesus for Teacher happens next week. Stay tuned. Great comments by all and now that I’ve realized I haven’t been back to answer, I shall do so now:

I'm just dying to know if the teacher has any other students of the same race in her class that she didn't call out. And, yes, I'd love to know what you said to the teacher. The kid - well that's the kind of thing it's almost fun to catch them at. Been reading a while, but I’m not sure if I’ve commented before.

The kid with the cast? Maybe he'll end up on Comedy Central someday -- or in Special Ops, tricking our enemies instead of his teacher. The teacher bears watching. The kid with the cast?
