Gibson looks at how student-teacher relationships affect African American males. She studied students in two Bronx, New York, schools. African-American males may start optimistic, but they often come to perceive school as a poor option for achieving the "American dream." Instead, they may turn to crime, most often drug dealing and violence. Gibson's work shows how teachers affect this process. Teachers are most effective when they are "real": caring and willing to share of themselves as they pass on not only the subject matter of the class but also the social and cultural capital necessary to maximize their students chances at upward social mobility.Criminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)African American teenage boysEducation (Secondary)New York (State)New YorkCase studiesTeacher-student relationshipsNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesAfrican American juvenile delinquentsAfrican American teenage boysEducation (Secondary)Teacher-student relationshipsAfrican American juvenile delinquents.373.1829/96/073Gibson Camille1971-1864190MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954863003321Being real4470937UNINA
