I have chosen to critique McLeod (2012) “Top of the class for poverty hardly looks like privilege”

Who is this source about?

This source is about young Maori who are falling out of education and joining gangs for support. It is also about the members of society that are not meeting their needs by allowing negative perceptions of Maori to shape their interactions (McLeod, 2012). At the end of the piece, McLeod (2012) includes a somewhat bizarre juxtaposition: considering the treatment of child molesters such as the ‘Beast of Blenheim’, Stewart Murray Wilson.

Who has created it and why?

Rosemary McLeod is a seasoned, Pakeha opinion columnist having begun her writing career in the 1970’s (nzonscreen, n.d). She writes scathing social commentaries and is well known for her …show more content…

2012, Kupu Taea, 2014). Te Whariki is a bicultural curriculum, interwoven with the principle of family and community (MOE, 1996). If we are to embrace the differences in our students, we must turn to family and community as having valuable insights into their children’s lives (MOE, 1996, MOE 2011). Pakeha need to consult with Maori, for Maori to find a way to work together for the education of all children.

Awareness of the context of negative outcomes for Maori
This piece highlights the ease of which we enter into negative discourses of Maori. McLeod’s (2012) willingness to enter into anti-Maori discourses without considering the context, affirms the need for us to respect the background of Maori/ Pakeha relations in Aotearoa. As teachers it is essential we recognise our past failings and learn from these to meet our obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi (MOE, 2011). To achieve this we must develop a respect for Maori people, culture, history and values (MOE, 2011).

The need to form positive relationships based on the unique stories of our Maori

Due to the actions promoted by racism against aboriginals from the year 1910- 1970 many Indigenous Australians have grown into adults still carrying the scars of the past. Some will never come to know their birth parents or who they truly are. They will grow old with the remembrance of a past full of torture and abuse that they will carry till the day they die. They grew up with the idea that their heritage should be rejected since it is the ‘inferior’ way of life.

In the article, “Don’t Blame the Eater,” David Zinczenko argues it is the fast food industry’s fault for the nation 's growing obesity epidemic. Furthermore, he believes people should not be blamed for their own obesity. Zinczenko argues fast-food is much more available to the fast paced lifestyle people live in rather than consuming healthy alternatives. He also discusses the fact so many people are on a low budget, it is then best and more inexpensive for them to consume fast-food. Zinczenko states a claim that the fast-food industry “would do well to protect themselves, and their customers, by providing the nutrition information people need” (Zinczenko 464).

Week ones study was focused on the Aboriginal Acknowledgement of Country and the Indigenous terms of reference. These are two very important topics as they focus on the interaction between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians, fostering a relationship a relationship of trust, respect and understanding. A proper understanding of the Aboriginal Terms of Reference is an integral tool for an aspiring teacher such as myself. They encompass the cultural knowledge, understanding and experiences that are at the center of the Indigenous culture (Oxenham, 1999).

I wonder as I write and think of ideas of ways to engage Indigenous students and communities back into education system how has none of this been implemented in our curriculum. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples embody the world’s oldest living cultures, so the corollary is that they must be the world’s oldest intellectual tradition. Yet that tradition remains essentially mute and invisible in the curriculum, the impact of this omission runs deeper than an academic oversight (Rose, 2012). The overshadowing of whiteness and its dictatorship over the Australian education system, this want for all students Indigenous and non-Indigenous to learn the western way of life, for it is seen as the ‘successful way of living’, western economic

The Significance of Resilience in Identity Formation Identity is established by the culmination of the experiences and routes a person takes throughout their life. For the Indigenous peoples, they commonly overcome challenges to develop their identity. Through the stories written by Wab Kinew and Melanie Mununggur-Williams, they shed light on the nationwide and individual life defining events from different perspectives. Each story describes the process of identity formation from learning and adaptation over certain experiences. While the artistic works of “500 Years In 2 Minutes” by Kinew and the “I Run” poem by Mununggur-Williams vary through their perspective used to convey identity, both reveal that Indigenous identity is shaped by negative

Through a historical reflection on the past injustices against indigenous people he asks the audience to consider “will Elijah Doughty become the latest victim of a vulgar, corrupt, indifferent system?” (Graham, 2016, para 54). Graham attempts to disrupt the power structures through an interrogation of the foundation of justice as it pertains to white and indigenous populations. Graham exposes the inequities of the discourse that allows the one incident to be view in radically different ways.

During this English class, we learned about past and present traumas faced by Indigenous people in order to reconcile and learn from our mistakes. To reconcile and learn about past traumas we have to be able to see how discrimination still happens today and how racism is still present in our world today. Both the texts AlterNatives by Drew Hayden Taylor and The Summer of Bitter and Sweet by Jen Ferguson are appropriate for NBE3U-E because they teach students about the underlying stereotypes and discrimination towards Indigenous people as well as the violence that still happens today. Discrimination and stereotypes towards Indigenous people is shown when Colleen makes assumptions about Angel and when Michelle makes discriminatory comments towards

Three readings from this week, combined with the readings from last week of overarching themes, got me thinking about how I have been considering Indigenous student experiences. In fact, I have not given too much thought on the issue until I encountered it as one of the topics in a course last term. I found myself relating to Indigenous student experiences, in terms of learning needs, to a certain extent as a recent immigrant student from South Korea. That led me to enrol in this course, and I find this opportunity to be a good learning experience as each reading material presents me new insights about Indigenous student experiences. From the information presented in Pidgeon’s (2008) dissertation, I was quite frustrated how difficult
