問題詳情：
My favorite teacher was Dorothy Bean. She taught American history to eighth-graders in Grand Rapids. It was 1944. Franklin D. Roosevelt was president and I was a twelve-year-old black newcomer In a school that was otherwise all white.
My stepfather, a physician in Grand Rapids, had bought the best house for his new family. The problem for our new neighbors was that their neighborhood had been “pure” before and that they were ignorant about black people. There was a lot of angry talk among the adults, but nothing much came of it. But some of the kids, those first few weeks, threw stones at me. For a time, I was a pretty ioneiy and sometimes frightened kid. I can see now that those youngsters were prejudiced, but I felt ashamed for being different.
I now know that Dorothy Bean understood most of that and deplored it. So things began to change when I walked into her classroom. Whereas my other teachers approached the problem of easing in their new black pupil by ignoring him for the first few weeks, Miss Bean went right at me。On the morning after having read our first assignment she asked me the first question. I answered her question and the follow-up. They weren't brilliant answers, but they did establish the facts that I had read the assignment and that I could speak English. Later when a classmate had given wrong answers, Miss Bean came back to me with a question that required me to clean up the girl's mess and established me as a smart person. From then on. I came to be more than merely a dark presence in the back of the room onto whose silent form my classmates could fit all the stereotypes(刻板印象)they carried in their heads.
Once Miss Bean asked my opinion about something Jefferson had done. In those days，all my opinions were not original. I was for Roosevelt because my parents were. We didn’t have opinions about historical figures like Jefferson. After I had stared at her for a few seconds, she said: “Well， should he have bought Louisiana or not?'
“I guess so?” I replied cautiously.
“Why?” she asked.
Why! What kind of question was that? But I ventured an answer. Day after day, she kept doing that to me, and my answers became stronger and more confident. She was the firsi teacher to give me the sense that thinking was part of education and that I could form opinions that had some value,
