I used to love history class, but know I hate it. My history teacher started teaching at my school this year. I'm in grade 10, and am learning about Canadian history. At first, I thought my history teacher's way of teaching was very refreshing; he pointed out to us biases in history around us, like our textbooks, and told us how the way history is taught to us can affect us. I found this really interesting, and looked forward to going to class. We started doing treaties and even then I could feel like my history teacher was starting to dislike me. He taught us treaties, but he forced his opinion on us. I'm not trying to sound racist or anything, but he kept saying how natvies had been completely racially destroyed . Now, I agree with him, but I like to hear both sides of the story,so I questioned him a couple times and he just said “I disagree" and brushed me off. I feel like if I don't regurgitate his views, he'll hate me even more. Can racism go both ways? What should I do?

Racism can go all ways and in all measures of subtlety. If it seems like his bias is hindering his ability to teach or your ability to learn and grow, you'll probably need to talk to someone at the school who is in an administrative position. Or have your parents do it, since they are trusting that your school is providing you with an education and not someone's soapbox ramblings. Do others in your class feel similarly? The teacher may not even be aware that he is alienating you and turning you off from what used to be a fun class. Good luck.

As a school student i will permit you be responsive to that i've got experienced a great sort of professor's whose perspectives I disliked. as quickly as i desperate i could join right into a women people's analyze type out of interest. The professor coaching the class replaced into awful to me - you may desire to tell she hated adult men with each and every bone in her physique. i replaced into scared to ever refer to her - she could consistently snarl at me (because of the fact i replaced into between the few adult men interior the class). It additionally sucked consistently getting C papers when I regarded around the class at a team of A's each and all the time. you be responsive to the call on the paper have been given me a factor help of a minimum of 10% or greater. i'm generally an fairly good student - yet that type dropped my GPA slightly.

If the so-called "Natives" were meant to rule Canada they would have. I suggest you google the term "Social Darwinism".
As far as your teacher, take what he says with a grain of salt....
