This video gave me mixed feelings. I felt it was a good way for students to learn about the effects of discrimination on one's self-esteem and well-being. It is my hope that Elliot's lesson resonated with each of her students. However, it is easy enough to agree in a classroom setting and do something entirely different in an outside setting.
Agreed. I wonder if the extended video/documentary explored that idea and talked to the now grown kids about it.
I couldn't believe this was happening at the beginning of the video. That was my first reaction when seeing the Teacher's pointing out such discrimination of a superior race because of the color of the eyes. It was a good demonstration and experiment though, but I think this also affected the children feelings and, probably, confused them. However, there was a good explanation and good ending by teaching and making the kids reflect on equality, independently of the color of the eyes, the color of the skin and any racial injustice.
