A student got a C in cooking class and didn't like it. She didn't like it so much that her dad complained that her cooking teacher, who is white, looked down upon his daughter, who is black. He went to the school to ask the cooking teacher to change her grade from a C to an A.
Virginia Brown is in the ninth grade at Ashley High School. Since her first year in school, she has been a perfect student and all her grades have been A’s. Virginia's father said her heart was broken when she got the C.
“She cried the whole weekend,” he said. “She wouldn't come out of her room. Her eyes were red. My little girl hasn't been so sad since her cat got run over by a car when she was six years old. ”
Virginia is a model student. She's the class president. She’s on the swim team and the volleyball team. She is a member in the chess club.
The cooking teacher is 28-year-old Jessica Smith. This is her first year teaching. Ms Smith said that she didn't look down upon Virginia Brown. “Some of my best friends are African-Americans and we have been getting along well with each other,”she said.
The schoolmaster, who grew up in India, said that he fully supported Ms Smith. He said that Virginia is an excellent student who would have no problem getting into the best universities even with a C in cooking. “She won't have any difficulty finding a great university, but she might have problems finding a husband,” he laughed.
“She'd better look for a man who likes to eat out a lot.”
