According to the week 7 reading material, “Care Work: The Invisible Labor of Asian American women’’ written by Wei Ming Dariotis and Grace J. Yoo. According to the article, the author stated that “ The findings show that Asian American women often do uncompensated, unrewarded care work, particularly as they provide noncognitive support, especially to students who are low-income or first-generation in college, immigrants, or facing additional significant challenges and barriers to academic success.’’ I agree with the author's views, our expectations of Asian American female teachers should be nice and helpful, including external stereotypes and our cross-cultural self-expectations. This means If I have psychological or academic problems, I tend to talk with Asian American female teachers. For example, when I applied for graduate school. I'll find an Asian American female professor to help me write the recommendation letters. Because I think she is a nice person and easy to talk with. Also, Asian American female teachers always need to do nursing work directly for their students inside or outside class. Because students are more likely to speak with them. This greatly increases their workload.
My question about this week's reading is what should we do to decrease the uncompensated, unrewarded care work done by Asian American female teachers. To give them the same treatment as other teachers.
