Greg and all of the blue eyes call us that.[1]20:13:13 STUDENT (FEMALE)Yeah, the blue eyes, they kept calling us brown eyes.[1]20:13:16 STUDENT (FEMALE)And he’d say this, come here, brown eyes.[1]20:13:19 STUDENT (FEMALE)Then they were calling us blue eyes.[1]20:13:20 STUDENT (MALE)I wasn’t.

Did anyone laugh at you when you did it?[1]20:14:35 JANE ELLIOTT (TEACHER)I watched what had been marvelous, cooperative, wonderful, thoughtful children, turn into nasty, vicious, discriminating little third graders in a space of 15 minutes. I think I learned more from the superior children than I did from the children who were considered superior, than I did from the children who were considered inferior, because their personalities changed even more than the others did. Whether they are this, whether this is what they would like to be inside, but society inhibits them, I don’t know. But for one day we removed their inhibitions and they were ghastly. We didn’t like one another very well by the end of the day, that first time. Social Science Psychology PSYC PSYC-231 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
