14.Understanding one's own history is important for young people's learning and development.Students are often asked to write a story about their own family's history or about a special person in their family.But too rarely do students focus on the history of their own community or their own people,in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular situation.When people understand their own history,they are able to grapple with the influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives.Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are.
Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history.And I know from my own experience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his family's experience in 1944.This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people.But in today's situation,those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake.
If our society is ever to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history,including what has happened to our Native American,African-American and Latino friends,our schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories.Families and related social bodies must do the same.
