One more damned thing we expect of our teachersMARK TAYLOR "In my experience schools bend over backwards to foster Māori language and culture and are constantly reviewing their classroom practices to ensure their Māori students are well catered for." In my experience schools bend over backwards to foster Māori language and culture and are constantly reviewing their classroom practices to ensure their Māori students are well catered for. No doubt some teachers, like society as a whole, have some unconscious attitudes that corrode the self esteem of some students so their learning suffers. They are probably far more susceptible to the unconscious biases of their peer group and their families. So if I had any spare education dollars I would certainly not be devoting them to probing the unconscious biases of my teachers.
