A Class Divided

Best Friend One Day, Enemy the Next

 

I’ve had the amazing opportunity to view the touching educational movie, A Class Divided. One day in 1968, a white third grade teacher, Jane Elliott, divided her class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups and taught them a lesson in discrimination. Jane Elliott desired to show her students what discrimination feels like first hand and what it could do to people. Fourteen years later, the filmed third grade class was invited back for a reunion to discuss the effects the stereotyping lesson had on their lives. The same lesson was repeated with adults, which produced the same affect. From this film I have gained valuable insight into what I will do as a future educator.

 

 

     I have learned to broaden my thinking in how I view every person. As a teacher I need to treat every person, student, parent, or adult, as I would want to be treated and not stereotype or discriminate.

 

     I believe that children and adults need to be taught life lessons like about discrimination and stereotyping to achieve a better world.

 

     I believe that discrimination and stereotyping is all around and could be the smallest thing such as a look or a label. People need to realize that generalizing and labeling could hurt people and the way that Elliott portrayed the topic was amazing.
