  Case: Inconsistent Disciplining
I am a student teacher and I have volunteered to participate in a special group of student teachers who are interested in teaching in diverse settings. One of the participants in our first group meeting was telling us about her disciplinary methods. When the white children in her class misbehave she sternly reprimands them because, she believes, they know the rules and they know what they are supposed to do. However, when the seven African American students misbehave, she gives them another chance because she wants them to know she cares. I have to react to this person and perhaps explain to her what the consequences of her action could be. What should I do and say? I am not even sure if her methods are actually good or bad.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
you could bring it up in casual conversation asking her about why she feels as though she needs to so this and how you feel it could be negatively effecting her class room. most teachers are pretty open to others opinions because they may not see things the way others do. This teacher unknowingly is showing signs of racism something that could potentially get her in trouble so i believe coming out and discussing it with her is the best method.

Comments: This solution is the most respectful to the other teacher. It is true that they may not even realize what they're doing is wrong and just need this pointed out to them. Speaking to the teacher first avoids a mess of trouble for them if administration was notified first.

Comments: The issue should be addressed with administration immediately. She is harmful to students, and it is not other teacher's responsibility.
