I’m part time and they need me there. I relate so much to the students it would be against their best interests to do so. Plus, it’s an HBCU. Anything that can get these kids coming to class, they’ll turn their cheek on. I’m there for retention of students, especially for freshman’s and sophomores.
I wear all type of shirts to class. Many with old movie posters from black films. It gets them interested in black history and invokes certain discussions. Some magical way, I can tie my math lessons into the discussions.
I have an very unique math class. And it’s unapologetically black.
I ride HARD for teachers like this!
