优劣不同，偏见不同
Teachers' Racial Biases Have Different Effects for High Versus Low Performers
优劣不同，偏见不同
In a study of first graders, teachers rated low-performing minority students more positively than low-performing white students, but they ranked high-performing minority students lower than white students at the same level.
一项对一年级学生的研究表明，对于表现不好的学生，老师倾向于对其他种族的学生打更高的分，而在表现好的学生中，他们同样程度地倾向于对白人学生打更高的分。

The ways teachers view their students can influence how teachers teach. Which affects how and what students learn. Now a study finds that a teacher’s racial biases come into play in different ways for high-achieving kids versus low-performing ones.
老师们看待学生的态度会影响他们如何教学生，而这又会影响学生们如何学习以及学什么。目前，一项研究发现老师对优秀的学生和差等生的种族偏见表现得完全不一样。
“There are actually students who are experiencing different perceptions—and those different perceptions play into very specific stereotypes and ideas about capabilities.”
“学生们其实往往受到不同的看待——那些对他们能力的印象和想法总是非常模式化。”
Sociologist Yasmiyn Irizarry of the University of Texas at Austin. She published her findings in the journal Social Science Research. [Yasmiyn Irizarry, Selling students short: Racial differences in teachers’ evaluations of high, average, and low performing students]
德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的社会学家耶斯米亚·伊里萨里在社会科学研究杂志上发表了她的发现。
Irizarry used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study collected by the National Center for Education Statistics. She compared the test scores of more than 10,000 first graders to how teachers ranked their students in comparison to all other first graders.
伊里萨里借用了由美国国家教育统计中心在早期幼儿教育纵向研究中收集的数据。她将一万多名一年级学生的考试成绩与老师对比其他一年级学生对他们做出的排名做了对比。
Teachers made accurate ratings of average students, regardless of race. But when considering students of color, teachers rated low-performing Black, Asian and Latino students more positively than they did their low-performing white students. And teachers ranked high-performing minority students lower than white students at the same level. Interestingly, the race of the teacher was not a factor in the skewed evaluations based on the race of the students.
对于中等学生，不论什么种族，老师们可以给出准确的排名。但是对于较差的学生，当涉及到有色人种时，老师们给黑人、亚洲和拉丁美洲学生的排名比他们实际排名更靠前，而对白人学生的排名比实际排名更后。而对于优秀的学生，老师们会同样程度地给有色人种学生比实际更靠后的排名，而给白人学生比实际更靠前的排名。
On both ends of the spectrum, the teachers’ predispositions could have detrimental effects on students. Either by insufficiently challenging gifted kids or not fully recognizing the needs of struggling young students.
有趣的是，在这由于学生种族不同造成的倾斜评价中，老师本身的种族却不是一个影响因素。不论是对优秀学生还是较差的学生，老师的这种评价倾向对他们都有不好的影响——要么是有天赋，却得不到足够的挑战性；要么是苦苦挣扎，需求却得不到满足。
