B: Main Concerns and Suggestions - extracted from 9 EETF Ward Forums and 2 Parent Academy Meetings Research & Information Services (June 26, 2017) Bias and discrimination Concerns Actions being undertaken or considered Racism Racism was a frequently raised concern; some participants shared stories of traumatizing experiences related to racism within the Participants cited racism in general as a major concern, though specific attention was drawn to anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism; the recent Carl James report was cited. Supporting staff in participating in difficult conversations about racism and in reflecting on their own potential biases Training in anti-racism for staff and specific actions to combat anti-black racism in all schools Maintain high expectations for students, especially racialized and poor backgrounds Islamophobia It was felt that Islamophobia was on the rise, which was having a negative effect on Muslim students and that board was not doing enough to address this problem School staff sometimes lacked knowledge or consideration around planning of schools events re: religious holidays affecting students. Some noted that students and parents expressed frustration at having to explain and advocate for their need for religious accommodations. Better knowledge and consideration of the needs of Muslim students, for example, planning of trips and events in relation to religious holidays Offering religious accommodations such as offering food in the school or on excursions/events Professional development activities for staff on Islamophobia Biased curriculum and materials Participants raised the issue of bias within curriculum and textbooks, noting in particular the Eurocentric orientation of both. Many felt that students often struggled to see themselves represented. Incorporate equity into curricular approach and “de-center” the Eurocentric curriculum. Provide more training for teachers in culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy Provide textbooks and materials that are more representative of the varied cultural and linguistic student bodies Biased teachers and staff Provide professional development related to equity for all including mandatory training for staff in anti-racism and anti-oppression

Write your answer as seven full sentences, using your own words. Number the points from 1 to 7. Write the total number of words used at the end of your summary. [10] Temptation for teenagers Many teenagers are tempted to experiment with illegal drugs and alcohol. Alcohol and drugs appeal especially to those struggling to develop an independent identity. Interest in these risky behaviours also coincides with a time of searching for interpersonal relationships, thirst for new experiences, peer pressure and a desire to fit in with the wider youth culture. Young people experiment with alcohol and drugs to look “cool” rather than be seen as misfits. Alcohol abuse is on the increase in South Africa because of wide-scale availability of alcohol products and media advertising. Currently, the glamorises and promotes the use of alcohol, as seen in hip hop music videos and all alcohol advertisements. Youngsters are given conflicting messages about alcohol and other addictive substances, and substance abuse is becoming more socially acceptable and tolerated. Alcohol advertisements have resulted in teenagers becoming more accepting of alcohol. According to a recent study on the influence of alcohol marketing on young people: “The more common and acceptable alcohol is, the more likely they are to become drinkers, and the more alcohol they are likely to This is worrying because alcohol is for many a ‘gateway drug’ leading to the use of other harmful substances.” Teenagers struggling to develop an independent identity use alcohol or drugs. Teenagers searching for interpersonal relationships may experiment with drugs.
