Re: Racial Remarks at School

More | Report Post

I spoke to my head teacher and said she is not aware of any
student/s being scared of "asian people". As a matter of fact
she said that it might have been the teacher who has the issue
not any of the students. My son is attending to a Christian
school. Today when I met with the head teacher she said that
the teacher involved finally admitted on saying those words and
was apologyzing. It happened Tuesday, Wednesday they called
for a meeting. She did not come forward. Today she finally
came forward. She may not mean anything about what she said but
I would really like to know if there is "such a student in the
class who is scared of asians".
