In all thy seeking, seek wisdom (knowledge)

Taught a 5th grade class today, Social Studies, and while discussing the Civil War a white male student made a comment on how racism exist. Very homogenious child. He went on to comment that the black couldn't get their education because of the oppression of the white people. (Paraphrased)

Mark you, there is only 1 black 5th grader in the class apart from me. Many hispanics and whites. So after reaching the area in the Chapter about how African-Americans (blacks), were now able to go to school under the apprenticeship program, another white male student, raised his hand and said...." Miss, that means I am so lucky to be in class with Tyrone!" , (the black student) His comment sparked interest in my mind and in the minds of these 5th graders.The other teacher with me in class was dumbstroke for a moment (she's white too) and said...."hmm yes, we are grateful."

It is amazing how the small mind of a child excels and is open to the world, the past and the present issues. I was really impressed by my 5th grade class. Just thought I would share this.

So this is what I learnt today... that little children are VERY aware on racial issues, serrogation, the black history and what we went through during slavery.

What did you learn today?

I feel you on this one catherine, when I take upon myself to do something my hubby said he would do (like 2wks.ago ) he comes in to try to direct/criticize how it should be done, that really burns me up ...
