I just have a question. Lynn has a majority of minorities or at least close to it. I don't know the exact number but I am sure it. That being the case, my question is "How many minority teachers do we have in our school system?". It seems to me they would be better able to relate to the students.
The message we are sending to our students tells these students, at least subliminally, "Only blue eyed, fair skinned people are educated". I am sure there are some exceptions employed by the Lynn school system and maybe I am completely off base. I hope so but that is why I pose the question. It is an important question after all, teachers are the gatekeepers of our society.
