Is there a Vaccine for Teacher Bias— the Other Virus in Public Education?

Is there a Vaccine for Teacher Bias—the Other Virus in Public Education?
Holly Benson wanted her child to receive a robust primary education. Ideally, she wanted the learning to occur in an elementary school with a diverse student population and a teaching environment that would preserve her child’s creativity, self-esteem, and sense of worth. From kindergarten through first grade, Holly (who is British) and her husband (who is African American) enrolled their biracial son in an affluent private school in the suburban area of Alpharetta, Georgia. Their son’s years at the private school were uneventful and he seemed happy.
Although the Bensons were satisfied with the instruction their child received in the private school, a critical piece on their wish list was missing. The private school lacked the diversity they sought. So, for second grade, they took a leap of faith and enrolled their seven-year-old son in a diverse public school system located in an affluent area of Gwinnett County, Georgia.
