I have an example for the Minister. In the Alberta grade 12 English curriculum, considerable emphasis is put on peer evaluation where students are given responsibility to grade each other's work. However, many aboriginal students are encouraged in their home to be non-judgmental of others. In some schools, aboriginal students form a minority in the class and are subject to certain biases from the other students. What authority does our Department of Education have under the memorandum of understanding to vary the curricula so that we keep the same basic content, but vary the teaching standards so that they are more culturally appropriate?
