Race Matters!

Anita Russell walked into school on Monday and greeted a number of children at the arrival area.

New students were being oriented and a lot of people were being systematically introduced to the children.

One student was so interested to greet this odd looking lady that he thrust out his hand to shake hands and said ‘Good
morning Miss Caucasian’

Our kids really do pay attention to the differences :)

Can’t Afford Hair Dye

During observation of one of the Pathlight classes, one of the students kept looking at my hair.
At the end of the lesson the same student came up to me and said ‘can’t afford black hair dye is it?’….oh dear, not a fan of blondes I gather!
