I once did a Maths assessment on Childhood Obesity. Sucks when teachers forget which subject they're supposed to be teaching.

Buuut yeah, care to give more details of what you're actually expected to draw?

I swear every subject at my school somehow manages to incorporate Aboriginal people into it.

... No, he's not being racist. It's true. And this is exactly why there are only 4 people doing modern history in my year. Everyone was completely put off with the whole Year 9 and 10 Australian history.. *shivers* Tent Embassy, Vietnam War, burning bras... It's all coming back to me now o_0

I wasn't being racist. And of course they have a right to be in our classes. I meant 'Aboriginal People' the topic, not Aboriginal People as individuals in the classroom. -_-'

In years 11 and 12 alone, I've learnt about them, their history and their issues in English, Religion, Economics and Business Studies. Not even joking. Then there were junior years, grrrr...Years 9 and 10 HSIE was the worst. Australian Geography and History should not be the entire junior syllabus.

It's completely ineffective, if not counter-effective. We're so over-taught on their issues that everyone in the class groans when the teacher mentions something to do with Aboriginal People. It's being forced down our throats to the point where no-one cares.

Yeah, he's not being racist - Aboriginals are incorporated in all of our subjects - maybe with the exception in Maths and Science.

Anyway, we had to design a book cover in English before. Teacher claimed that it was to assess our creativity. And in addition, we were not allowed to computerise our work, giving the artistic people more advantage.

general mathematics and Aboriginal people, i congratulate people from your school to make that link.
People in my grade make jokes about this. If the teacher writes 'TOPIC 6' on the board, someone will probably mutter "Aboriginal People."
Or "if an Aboriginal Person is standing 25.09 metres away"

I know it's racist of them, but people at my school are actually sick of it, which is sad because the issues they face are actually really serious. Every single formal school occasion starts with, "we would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land...The Darug People."

Massive LOL! I seriosuly thought it was only my school that went on about it. See, the thing with Australian History is we don't really have much of one.. Soo, our 'history' is just really exaggarated.. I can't really explain it.
