Lessons Learned from My Students in the Barrio.
Gantner, Myrna W.
Educational Leadership, v54 n7 p44-45 Apr 1997
An El Paso middle-school teacher and her barrio students corrected each other and learned from each other daily. Her most difficult challenge was convincing kids to become more assertive when they felt they were mistreated by other teachers. Students wanted others to respect them and to refrain from prejudging them, laughing at their English, or judging them by their dress. (MLH)
