Why do you need a bachelors to teach basic education? Thats probably a problem, too much expense required to get and keep a job that doesn't pay enough to justify the expenditure and time.
The Mecklers and Rabinowitz' of the world are outraged that Latino and black children are being taught by....blech...white teachers! Nevermind the fact that Meckler and Rabinowitz admit that being a teacher is often a thankless, unhappy profession with low pay:
People of color are less likely to go into teaching and less likely to stay in it. Education requirements, low pay, unhappy workplaces and lack of respect all can contribute. The result: At every step on the road from high school student to classroom teacher, people of color fall away.
It's not enough white children make up less than 50% of American students , now the Meckler Rabinowitz' demand that the teachers be non-white as well. Diversity means openly discriminating against the men & women who teach your children now, according to the Meckler Rabinowitz' of the world.
Given the fact that less than 50% of American children are white, and non-whites are either not educated enough, or simply not interested enough in becoming teachers, what might be in store for the American educational system in 20 years, when all those pesky pale white teachers retire?

Ill let you get back to sucking up to oswald mosley, he got his ass kicked too.
With a long history of posting threads designed to provoke racial animus. Like I said. :shrug:
Oh, I assure you I have no questions about your motives.
I dont think many question your motives as it has been obvious for a long time. We already know your motives.
The racial imbalances of faculty are important to consider, not just because of some of the intangibles discussed in the article, but also because of the biases that school staff have been known to display toward those who come from different backgrounds than they.
How you address the staffing imbalance is another matter entirely.

The agricultural industry is 90% white. Who wants to refuse food until the agricultural industry is racially balanced? Volunteers?
It’s your prerogative to be childish.

Oh, but it isn't childish to publish an article in WaPo whose main point is that white people lack the 'flavor' needed to teach those spicy brown people. And you believe Meckler and Rabinowitz when they say the poor educational outcomes of black and Latino students is the fault of white teacher's skin color.
If it is really so hard for you to 1) understand that a student internalizes messages and that some of those messages may not be helpful for their self-esteem and eventual life goals 2) that street-level bureaucrats may do their job in a biased or unfair manner, contrary to the goals of your legislature, the United States Congress, or federal courts....
Then I have nothing to tell you.

Teachers are street level bureaucrats? They're harmful to the self esteem and life goals of minority students? Wtf are you talking about man?
Yes. Someone has to carry out the duties of the government and deliver or carry out those duties to the actual citizenry. That’s the definition of a street-level bureaucrat. Every time you go to the DMV to register your vehicle, you’re engaging with a street level bureaucrat, who is tasked with performing discrete tasks asked of the government entity.
They can be. They can also be beneficial to the self-esteem and life goals of minority students.

Why is everything always about race with you? (haha, just kidding, we all know why)The agricultural industry is 90% white. Who wants to refuse food until the agricultural industry is racially balanced? Volunteers?

Although I will admit that I have not taken a deep dive in the relevant studies or datasets for this specific issue, I must point a few things out.
There are good reasons to suspect that cultural and ethnic background are correlated, if only because of the influence of parents and family. People will share some biological trait with their parents and broader family outside of cases of adoption and they will obviously tend to share at least some cultural traits with them as well. For reasons that should strike absolutely everyone as perfectly obvious, people from different cultural background may not all agree on the definition of a good life. The choices we make in life all involve trading off one inconvenience for another. You can put more effort into your studies, but only at the expsense of other activities. You can start a business of your own during your spare time, but only if you give up some of your leisure. If you go to college, it will be time consumming and will probably involve accruing some debt and working long hours after class. You can prefer to work longer hours, be more flexible on your schedule for your employer and spend less time with friends and family once you are out on the labor market. It's the kind of things that will tend to increase your income and your prospect for professional advancement later. You can go for a career involving risk or you can go for a career that is more stable.
Why would anyone expect that people from different cultures would all come down with the eact same picture of how to balance these sacrifices? The problem is that if I am correct in assuming that culture influences how we make those choices and that culture is related to your racial background, you will get a pattern where Black people, Asian people, White people, Jewish people, etc. make different choices throughout their lives and that will tend to land them in different circumstances. Demographic factors can also play a role in producing variation along the ethnic dimension: not all groups necessarily have the same age or sex composition, the same birth rates, etc.
The problem with the "quota crowd" is then simply put. The only way that you can look at a difference between the ethnic composition of the general population and the ethnic composition of a profession as evidence of discrimination is if you assume away the impact of all other possible factors on outcomes. If you think in terms of "white" versus "non-white," you have a binary or dummy variable. The "bias" in proportion can be obtain in a regression framework by regressing a variable measuring outcome on a constant and the dummy variable. Their point of view is that this univariate model will not incur an omission bias. This is strikingly stupid, not to mention it would be easy to demonstrate to be false with adequate data. The truth is that when you look at any group of people based on any characteristic, you likely have a complicated interplay of biological factors, cultural factors and institutional arrangement in the broader society. It's incredibly unlikely that you can boil every down to just one source of variation (discrimination). In some cases more than others, assuming away biology is also going to be stupid (a case in point would be sex differences in personality, skill sets and life priorities). It's not easy to uncover discrimination because you cannot just assume all of the problems I mentionned out of existence. You have to filter them out of the way to isolate the things in which you are interested.
Meckler and Rabinowitz are journalists, not scientists. They write for the Washington Post, a left leaning newspaper. Your comment is far too nuanced and inclusive of diverse variables that might explain difference in outcomes amongst cultural, ethnic and racial populations. They want the simplest answer possible for explaining difference in outcomes, and it must be one that conforms to the the expectations of a left leaning, mainstream media company.

Probably. After all, homeschooled children typically score higher on standardized tests than public school children - and many of their parents have no degrees at all.
"Diversity" here implies that the race of the teacher should match the student. This is a racist concept. If a black student needs a black teacher, maybe they also need a black bathroom and a black water fountain?
