The hope and promise for American public schools is to provide a safe, respected environment where students can gain knowledge. Regardless of their background, gender, race, social category or learning disabilities, students need to have a fair opportunity to be trusted, respected and successful.
Teachers need to identify their biases and beliefs, so they can address them for the betterment of their teaching abilities. With this, student expectations and student motivation will increase.
