Although some students have already started summer break or they will be soon, there are still some assignments public school districts may want to complete.
data reveals roughly 3.9% of public-school teachers in California are Black. Meanwhile, Black students make up about 5.4% of enrollment
"A lot of parents say this is their child's first Black teacher. And I'm like what?," said Vernon Johnson, a math teacher at KIPP San Francisco College Prep. "[Students] see that you're Black and they're like ok, that's kind of cool," said Johnson."He's a math teacher, ok that's different. I don't really like math, but I like him."
Knowing they're underrepresented, Johnson says he works hard to build bonds with every single one of his students, but bonds with Black and Brown students seem to be naturally stronger. Darien said he's been more successful academically and athletically because of Johnson and other Black male teachers. Warren feels like he can connect with them even outside of the classroom.
