To think that teachers should be able to distinguish BAME students by name?

I have 2 DDs at different secondary schools and we have recently been having animated table discussions arising from the BLM protests. Both girls separately experienced teachers repeatedly confusing their names with the handful of other BAME students in the class. 13 yo DD cannot understand why she is repeatedly confused with another BAME girl who is much taller than her and unlike DD wears glasses. Apparently the offending teachers do not have this memory deficit with white students in the class Confused

We're just posting to say that we've had some reports about this thread and we'd like to enlist your help to keep things on track.

This type of discussion can attract subtly racist posts, which we delete, along with posts which appear to deny racism.

We've already deleted a number of posts, but if you see anything which breaks our Talk Guidelines, please do report and we'll take action. We want the conversation to flow, of course, but where we think any poster is being disingenuous we need to act.

Many thanks.
