36. Too Much Stereotyping
I’m a teacher.
I was on a committee to hire a new 5th-grade teacher.
I was showing her the ropes and monitoring her in-class behavior. I watched this bonehead tell a student, “I don’t like you very much. Figure it out yourself.”
The next thing I showed her was the door.
In the exit interview (had on the walk to the door), I demanded an explanation, and she said of the student she ‘didn’t like.’
Her: He was wearing designer jeans. You know his life is all peaches and cream, taken from us little guys.
Me: [confused] Did he make an inappropriate comment to you about money?
Her: No. But I know their kind.
