  Case: Talking like a white girl
I work at an inner-city school and I am the only white person in the classroom. Whenever I have a behavior issue with a student, I follow our school guidelines. When discussing it with my mentor teacher and team leader, they always respond that I need to quit talking to my students like a white girl. They inform me that my students come from the ghetto and sometimes it is necessary to be loud and "ghetto" to get respect from students. I don't agree with this. Any suggestions of how to get respect from my students and have them follow the rules of the classroom?

I also don't agree with this. One way to get your student to respect you and your race is to show them that we are all the same. whether we talk different, have different colored skin we are all people with feelings and deserve respect. If you show you really care I feel they will give you their respect.
