I never understood it then and when students used to ask, teachers ignored it or couldn't answer it.
Indigenous kids used to turn up 20min late to 40min classes, teacher would ask them to sit down, Then the kid would yell at the teacher,claim the teacher was 'after them'

So no other kids ever turned up late or yelled at the teacher?
At my school it was the opposite with only non indigenous children being the problem children, same at my kids schools.
I suppose the lesson of the story is we shouldn't tarnish all people with the same brush.

Only the indigenous kids got to go straight to this room after abusing the teacher. If any other kids did the same thing,they got sent to the deputy principals office and were put on progress books,sent back to class, and the book needed to be checked off by the teacher at the end of every lesson for 3 weeks. A failed progress book would earn a suspension from school. 2 suspensions would warrant Expulsion.
