I can't put it down. As a young woman growing up in rural Arkansas, I attended a small, formerly segregated school and saw the impact of not having many Black teachers. In fact, I never had a Black male educator throughout my K-12 experience. I appreciate Foster's inclusion of retired, veteran, and novice educators. I also served as a high school history and government teacher in DC and love that rural and urban teachers were included in this work. The showcase of the actual history of Black teachers is also very helpful to the learning process. Thank you for this one!

Each interview confirmed my belief that even though the schools were inadequate, books were prehistoric, and the pay "sucked", at least black students were taught and cared for. It's important for everyone to be able to identify with others, and in this identification, be able to help one another cope with adversaties. Each teacher appeared to feel the loss of interpersonal, relations between themselves and their students. The ability of an adult to empathize with a child, based on his personal experience, and to give insight on the "roadblocks" that the child could be faced with, was and still is important. Experience is the greatest teacher, and being able to identify with another person and express in great detail, methods to use in overcoming obsticles, was a great loss due to intergration. The problems suffered by the teachers in the 60's and 70's, persist today in the 90's. Inequality, in education, based on economics, and race are still a deciding factor of whether or not children will be productive,and a contribution to society. I feel saddened by the obvious lack of "progress" that integration was supposed to bring about. Teachers, specificly black teachers still feel restricted about the extent they can go to in achieving their goal to educate black children, in the hopes of allowing them more access to a better future. One more point of contention is that today fewer blacks are into education because of the "tests" that are designed to keep them out of that field, as well as the interferrence of others outside of the education arena telling them how to "run" their class. "Big brother knows best!" This is really sad. I propose that we haven't progressed, so much as stagnated, and we aren't really a democracy, so much as a dictatorship. Four hundred years and still enslaved. (Even if it is majorily mentally.)

i think this reviewers comments are somewhat off the mark. first, if one is going to criticize a text they could at least get the gender of the writer correct (a clue to how well read). second, the reviewer describes foster as biased. i am a teacher educator who focuses on social and cultural issues in education. foster's text attempts to shed light on a particular perspective and historical experience of a group that has been historically marginalized in education. that is not bias, rather it is focus. third, the reviewer says they want something for the advancement of all students. i believe when arguments like that are made, there is an underlying assumption that since the focus is directly on black students (or other non-European students) then the lessons do not apply to white students. a close read of foster's text shows us the issues that DISTRICTS must face in developing productive environments. this text provides stories which all teachers must face: dealing with students, families, and bureacracy. also, in the advice on how to teach black children she reflects a great deal of literature about how to teach a MULTICULTURAL classroom (i.e. taking into account the culture and values of the students before you, as a group and individuals). foster's text is a great window into the history and general perspectives of a group that has been largely overlooked in the popular literature. surf around amazon.com and i doubt you will find another text like it.

Black Teachers on Teaching reminded me of the same inequality in the public school system that I grew in.I am a college student majoring in education and read this book for a class.I understand completely the concerns of the black teachers about desegregation. I was bused from an all black school in the seventies to a predominately white school.Sure I experienced nicer buildings and better resouces to work with, but I was constantly reminded of how lucky I was supposed to be. I was told that by my white teachers and the white students. My mother was so proud because I was chosen ,along with about 20 other black students with high grade point averages, from my old school to attend. Just as written in the book, I felt I gained a lot of book knowledge but I began to doubt myself as a black person. All the great inventors and explorers that we learned about didn't look like me or come from my neighborhood. For awhile I really believed that people that looked like me were not capable of achieving.The black teachers interviewed made very valid points about the importance of instilling self esteem in all students.Black teachers were just as concerned about white teachers teaching their kids as whites were about black teachers teaching white kids. How can you teach a student about confident and pride when you really do not want them there. I know the feeling all to well.
