Black Teachers

Synopsis

A group of black teachers and children discuss the ways in which they consider that black children are discriminated against in schools and what they and black parents can do about it. In particular they feel that black children are expected not to do so well and to get more manual jobs, and this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
