The first day of school is rough for teachers as well as students. ... ” I was nervous because she was new and I was a white male teacher in a predominantly white school. When I say predominantly white, I mean that I had five classes of 35-37 students and four of them were black. ... I was also nervous because teachers are always under invasion: attacked by principals, parents, students, and now I might be attacked by a tape recorder.
Unique never brought the tape recorder, but that day I became the student and she became the teacher. ... This continued for the rest of that year and the following year, as she became my teacher’s assistant.
Over the two years Unique, myself and, sometimes, her friends discussed different tactics for involving and motivating black students in discussions and class. ... As she kept tutoring me, I kept counseling her on how to manage a club, to interact with peers and teachers as an organization leader and to graduate with grades good enough to get into the college she wanted.
