Evelyn Lin - Who is the First Asian American Teacher?

Evelyn Lin - Who is the First Asian American Teacher?Evelyn Lin, who was born in 1900 and is fondly known as the Summer Queen of Chinatown in Boston, a former finalist of Miss America contest and now a fourth grade teacher at a private elementary school, is said to be the first Chinese American to successfully apply for a teaching position in the United States. In the role of a high school teacher, Evelyn Lin is being thrust into an uncomfortable reality of assimilation. Indeed, in her native Boston, Evelyn Lin teaches in the Chinese Quarter, a section of Boston that is actually in Chinatown, a part of Chinatown that serves as the cultural and economic center of Chinatown. On the other hand, in the United States of America, Evelyn Lin teaches at a private elementary school in the suburbs of Boston.As such, the stereotypical Bostonite - educated and politically sophisticated - Evelyn Lin is not accepted into the American school system by anybody. This is not surprising, as Evelyn Lin is only 14 years old and does not know much about the US educational system, especially in terms of classroom management and discipline. The fact that Evelyn Lin is Asian-American, who was born in the US and is educated in the US means that she has a different type of education than her parents, who were born in the US and who do not know much about the academic aspects of education in the US. It means that Evelyn Lin is a great candidate for the new educational market in the US.Thus, Evelyn Lin is poised to play a great role in the country's educational market. However, whether Evelyn Lin will be successful in her role is another question. The first question is, will Evelyn Lin be accepted well by her American students, who were all taught in the system of education in the United States of America?The reality is that Evelyn Lin is now surrounded by parents who did not go to the public schools in the United States of America. This can be quite a challenge for Evelyn Lin, whoas a Chi nese American will be the focus of the parents' criticism. Evelyn Lin's American students may see her as a threat to their American way of life and values. Thus, Evelyn Lin will have to be taught how to cope with this situation.This task of having to cope with this criticism can make Evelyn Lin suffers. Some parents are very vocal and some of them are even abusive. Evelyn Lin has to learn how to cope with this criticism and how to prove that she is worthy of the praise of her students and the popularity of her class.The other thing that Evelyn Lin has to deal with is the other situation of adjusting to the fact that her students are not all Asian Americans. Students will be categorized by the color of their skin, not their ethnic background. This has made it difficult for Evelyn Lin to accept children who are Caucasian.Evelyn Lin may be the first Asian American to be accepted as a teacher, but she is also one of the few Asians American teachers. Thus, this is not a given that Evelyn Lin will have her job successfully, especially in the early stages of her job.
