I agree with yall! I do not like the fact that children have to be labeled especially because all children not just ones from a different culture learn differently and at different levels. But the fact that the teacher didn't even take into consideration that he was from a different culture and that might be the reason he doesn't learn like the rest of the kids astounds me.
I find it so amazing that the young Native American children learn such things at that young of an age. I wish I had learned some of the things they had learned or that we all had, that way everyone might respect nature a little more. I really hate that the boy felt ashamed of his background! I don't think anyone should make a child feel ashamed or even to allow them to. As a future teacher I believe the teacher should have encouraged his diversity and not hindered it. I mean the world wouldn't be a fun place if everyone was just a like.
