Radix Elementary School

Worst elementary school ever, unless you are not child of color. At the time when I was here, a lot children made fun of me being Asian and enjoyed saying that they never heard of «Chinese», that China must be an alien planet. Others tried to pick at the fact that I came from Philadelphia and say that I was too stupid and only know curse words, trying to get me trouble by lying to officials that I had a vulgar mouth… We’re talking about 4^th graders. I mean there were even some «popular» cheerleader girls that try to lure me to be their «pet» and use me. I realized it had to be racism in this school because even the darker-​skinned children were made fun for being «black» or have «Crazy hair». Also, the teacher believed these lying children that were trying to get me trouble, and if any of the colored students tried to have a comeback or smart remark to respond to a mean student or two, it is the colored students that get written up or have a phone call home. It didn’t help that I tried confronting to the teacher, she just didn’t want to help me. She was biased, and so was every other staff member. It was sad, and I realized being literally the only Asian (there weren’t even any Indians or Pakistanis, which are also Asian) in that school is worse than just the few bunch of African Americans that had to stick together there… The diversity was sad, but that was NO excuse for the staff to be biased, also racist and discriminating. Some of the parents of these horrible children know about it, but do nothing… Worst to say, I think a few of them encouraged their children to be that way. I know for sure if I were a teacher, I would stand for the helpless. I don’t care if other teachers tell their staff and fellow coworkers to act cold to particular students; equality is justice. Children of all ages, color, and race should be treated properly and the same nice way in order to learn well and feel comfortable. You’d think these caucasian, middle-​class families would teach their children better.
