Jane Elliot video

Talofa Bloggers! Today we watched a video about a teacher doing a experiment with her students. This was based on judging people and being racist. The students didn't know that she was going to do the experiment on them. The teacher said blues eyes are better than brown eyes, so she said blue eyes are allowed to play on the playground. The brown eyes couldn't play on the playground and in 15 minutes fights started happening. Then the blues did a test on how fast they could go through a card packet and it took them 3 minutes. The students with the brown eyes wore a collar. The next day it was the students with the brown eyes turn and they gave the collars to the blue eyed students. They said the brown eyes were dumb and now they say the blue eyes are dumb. They tested the blue eyes again and this time they got 4 minutes and 8 seconds. They got slower because they thought about the collar all the time. The next day they talked about what happened in those 2 days and they didn't like it. The teacher asked is it okay to judge someone by their colour and they said no. The experiment was based on racism and it's not okay to do that. The lesson is never judge someone from being different or thinking they're bad.

  1. Hi I'm Tabby from Ahipara school it sounds like you had a very colorful day with red, yellow, green and blue and all the different stations like tennis and the blindfold station. It must have been really fun.
