In my 450 class today we talked about what it takes to teach in a more ethnically diverse school. My initial reaction was overwhelmingly "yes"!!! I could teach outside of "vanilla valley" as one of my classmates put it. It really got me thinking about how this is an issue that still exists today in education. As much as I don't understand it, since I grew up in Colorado Springs where there is not much diversity, I have to be prepared to work with colleagues who may struggle with treating minority students differently. Even with this in mind, I still have no idea what kind of school I want to teach in for my first year. I am worried that if I go into a inner city school, that I will get burnt out within the first two years.
