Reaching Out to SLT
How has your school dealt with racist comments made by students to a current staff member's child? Also sadly these racist comments are targeted at the mother when the family also goes out into the community. Prefer not to mention ethnicity. Please note I'm also in the ILT/SLT
Racist Comments
Re: Racist Comments
I am a former SLT member at a Chinese Bilingual School, had both students and Chinese Faculty make racist comments in class...not directly towards a specific teacher...just in discussions...these comments were overheard by another teacher several times. Chinese Head of School did nothing and would not listen to us...she did not want to deal with it, she did not want it discussed outside our meetings and she wanted no discussions with the faculty member or students who were heard saying these racist comments.

Re: Racist Comments
The UGLY FACE of racism !!! Finish your contract and run away! Could also be a teaching moment for your child - in a positive - way but depends on severity and context.
Don't we see this all the time - even during recruitments ???

Re: Racist Comments
In situations like this, it's essential for leadership to take a proactive stance. Ignoring or downplaying racist comments not only perpetuates the behavior but also sends a message that such actions are tolerated. Implementing clear policies on bullying and discrimination, alongside regular training for staff and students on diversity and inclusion, can help create a more respectful atmosphere.
