Watch A Teacher Make Her 3rd-Grade Kids Hate Each Other For The Best Reason

[CMAC]

Some of you might have seen this already as it's 40 years old.

Should be a compulsory 'project' for every primary child.

watched it mate, cheers really interesting :thup:

never mind the primary school kids, it should be required viewing for some on here

 

[JumboJim]

This is unbelievable. It's a shame teachers today don't teach life lessons like this, instead of just creating drones to pass exams. This video is proper education, preparing kids for the real world.

Really good post that mate,thanks for sharing :thup:

The biggest problem with today education is parents. They have too much power to influence what schools teach there sons and daughters.
This sort of teaching needs to ingrained into primary school children to stop the racist rot that is slowly killing our nation.

I just watched a 2012 'comedy film' currently on SKY about a group of black guys and their relationships, it was very funny...... however it contained lots of racist references with the guys calling each other ***, negro, black, etc etc

Last week I watched a Whitney Huston film (the last one before she died) called 'Sparkle' about a family of black church singers who wanted to make it in the music industry, they used the words (amongst others) negro, sambo, ***, blah blah blah...

I believe both these films were/are rated as 12

If THAT is what we are watching what the hell do people think things are going to be like in the coming years?

Racism is being perpetuated.... not tackled. This isn't about teachers OR parents.

If we all followed what we saw on TV or played on computer games, I'd be a hobbit racing car driver with 155 Pokemon who fights repeating wars every November.

The is a difference between language and using something as a racial slur.

You don't think what is seen and heard influences people? Umm, OK.

That's ridiculous. There's well over 650 Pokemon now.

It always gets me how it's acceptable for them to call each other the names mentioned but if a white man does it its not. I'm not condoning the use of the words but surely if its offensive then it's offensive

With you there Pin seeker

Mind you I come from a generation when good meant good and bad meant bad.

And another.

Doon frae Toon, was that the generation that thought a shared drive went between yours & the neighbours to get to the garage, crack was a gap between paving stones & sheltered accommodation was where you waited for buses......?

That Video is a great lesson but not only for white people. Lessons could be learned from it by just about every colour, creed, cast and religion on this planet, some of the greatest hatred for fellow man is perpetrated in countries like Africa and Asia.

For me, the interesting thing in that video was not the way the kids treated each other, but the way they thought of themselves when they were told they were inferior. They believed it. Test scores dropped overnight, just because they were told they were 2nd class by someone in authority!

Oh, and if you don't understand the difference between an insult and someone trying to take ownership of that insult and neutralise it then there really is no hope....

I understand that completely. And if that was what actually happened then there wouldn't be a problem, but when it's used as a stick to beat people with rather than to neutralise it then it is as wrong as the insult was in the first place.

I have seen the video before and it is still relevant despite its age. Not sure the touchy nicey society of today would even let it be made in case little Johnny became emotionally damaged in the experiement

Why did it start with a picture of Birchy?

This is a bit long, but it was a classic pyschology expirement, we studied at "A" level. It was born out of a lack of understanding of how nazi guards in the concentration camps mainly replied the same to the question "How could you carry out these acts?" The main answer being "I was just following orders."

http://psychology.about.com/od/historyofpsychology/a/milgram.htm

I spoke to an English tour guide when doing a walking tour in Berlin, who has previously been a tour guide in Auschwitz. He said he used to ask the toursits afterwards what they thought. Most said "How could the Germans carry out these atrocities."

He felt they were missing the point. Should it not be how can human beings do this to each other?

I have to agree, it is easy for us to compartmentalise it by projecting it onto "other types", when after all we are all human.
