“Moreover, a teacher should ask herself whether she herself interprets silence accurately through a racial lens, or too quickly. For instance, teachers and the public in general tend to assume that quiet Asian American girls are engaged in learning and quiet Black students are disaffected from school, rather than wondering whether a student’s silence is simply an individual’s response to the particular moment or a group member’s response to racialized classroom dynamics.”
