Topic and Goals
The topic I chose to research was how black childhood is different from white childhood. When I was growing up, I grew up around a lot of white people. And what I noticed was that the things that I did at home an got in trouble [got whoopings for] for they would do all the time and all their parents would say is ,"No no no, don't do that honey". As the years have passed its still the same way. I would never even dream of saying some things to my parents that those kids would. Also, it seemed that the white kids would get everything they asked their parents for. But i occasionally got what I wanted and just accepted what i did get. I want to get the 'White' perspective on this topic, because it's a mystery for me......

I keep thinking about what you and I discussed on Friday. I bet the over-representation of white women in education is a self-perpetuating problem. If kids see mostly white women as teachers, then it will be mostly white girls who see themselves becoming teachers when they grow up. What do you think? I'm not sure what can be done to stop that cycle.
