I never really thought about it. My classmates and I would classify teachers on the level of how strict they where, but race was never really consitered. Now that I think about it, I had many teachers with diffrent races. Does "teacher" include conducter, camp leader, coach or any other sort of leader?

Yes I would think so they teach you things and I would like to know what you are saying about your teachers!

I never thought about, but I'm not sure I can remember when/if I ever had a non-white teacher. At least not until College. It was a very humbling exercise. The majority of my friends were non-whites, but this question forced me to realize that probably none of our teachers were. Shameful!!!

I've thought about this for a long time, and I don't think I have ever had a teacher of a different race than mine. That's including college. Wow.
