I have had to deal with the white teachers who think they are the end-all-be-all of this "poor, little, black kids'" lives.<BR/><BR/><B>Puh-leez!!!!!</B><BR/><BR/>You see these kids for 45 minutes a day, 90, tops, and how dare you think you are the moral compass and center of their lives!!! These kids have families, and maybe some of them are dysfuntional, but actually, most of their families are no more dysfuctional than ours! They have love in their lives, and no matter, how much you feel like you can "save" them, you can only impart a small part of your values in your 45 or 90 minutes, and hope some of it sticks. <B><I>And, why are your values necessarily better, anyway??!!</B></I><BR/><BR/>They had influences BEFORE they came in your class, and will have more influences when they LEAVE your class.

Because Ryan and Shareeka had their own problems and used each other for support. The white teacher doesn't exactly save the day in this one.<BR/><BR/>I agree, Ryan took up the majority of ad space but given the mutual relationship they had, Shareeka should have received her due.<BR/><BR/>- teáspoonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-1168434385186830722007-01-10T08:06:00.000-05:002007-01-10T08:06:00.000-05:00I like Half Nelson, but I didn't see it b/c someon...I like Half Nelson, but I didn't see it b/c someone told me it was depressing and I was on a depressing movie diet that season.
