In Canada,
If you are indigenous you are put into a program.
Most programs are in basements of public schools.
The curriculum is not equal to the curriculum of that taught to non indigenous persons.
My child is blessed with a good tan.
We are European, First generation Canadian in our family.
In our family we are highly educated, either Doctors or Engineers in Canada.
>Expect bullying, racial profiling and racism from school principals. It is not the children bullying, it is teachers and principals discriminating against children/families they do not like. Period!
My child was held back from grade one and sent to kindergarten for half of a second year. We missed half of grade one and then the principal told me we had to go to grade one for social reasons.
Since my child was behind now they put him in a “program”... (btw, my child already could read small books & write own name before even entering kindergarten)
My child was put into an indigenous “program” since a child because of his appearance and darker skin.
The principal was clearly racist and getting away with it.
I was a new young mother at the time and had no advice or experience in dealing with school “authority”.
This principal set up my child for a harder future by limiting opportunity for learning amongst the class peers, with the age class and social level.
When my child was entering high school the vice principal had a meeting with us. At this meeting he began interrogation on my twelve year old about crack cocaine use and how often drug use would be an issue. ???? Highly inappropriate and offensive.
My child had no idea what these drugs/things were before this principal.
Again this principal racially profiled my child and entered us into an indigenous “program”.
The practices of residential schools is alive and well.
If I had not witnessed such hate from principals and teachers towards my CHILD throughout the years I would probably still be ignorant.
13 years in public school & My child has not been educated.
My child has been bullied by school “authorities”
and our family has been intimidated by bigot principals for the past 13 years.
Highland principal in Comox is number 1 out of 3 of racist principals we’ve ever come across. ThR absolute worst man alive! Why is he influencing our youth.......
