Many years ago, in the same class, one student commented that I was
"concerned, caring and helpful" while another described me as
"closed-minded, impersonal and not approachable." I've kept these two
comments around to remind myself of how differently students in the
same classroom may perceive who and how I am.
I like the 'mom' hypothesis, and agree this is a great tool for implicit bias.
