Inspired by [Humans of New York on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork), I thought this concept would fit well into my Grade 11 Genocide and Crimes against Humanity course. In fact, the more posts I read, the more I realized how closely aligned they are to Facing History’s [Scope and Sequence](https://www.facinghistory.org/for-educators/educator-resources/our-pedagogy/scope-and-sequence).

It is my hope that when they leave they take with them critical thinking skills, the ability to engage in difficult conversations, and a deeper understanding of how we are all connected - in the past, present, and future. Through all of my various attempts to learn from my students what they are getting out of their [Facing History and Ourselves](https://www.facinghistory.org/) class, I have found that the best way to find out what students are learning is to ask them. Each year, at the end of our grade 11 elective Facing History and Ourselves course, [Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity](http://www.tdsb.on.ca/DesktopModules/Tdsb.Webteam.Modules.SPC/CourseDescriptionPopup.aspx?courseID=420_20142015_CHG381), we take the time to reflect on our learning and ourselves. This year a group of students from my classroom chose to participate in a reflective interview process in lieu of their final journal entry assignment, and agreed to share their reflections. Below, as inspired by the popular blog [Humans of New York](http://www.humansofnewyork.com/) and the Facing History project, [Humans of the Woodlands](https://www.facinghistory.org/innovation-grants-2014/ontario), you'll have the chance to glimpse into the classroom learning and life of a few of my Facing History and Ourselves students.

Between 1880 and 1996, more than 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children were forced into Indian residential schools and thousands did not survive. Those that did survive suffered a loss of language, culture, family, and *self*. Many suffered abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to care for them.

Schools are part of a larger educational system. However, our classrooms are also a microcosm of society; a community of members with jobs to do, and rules, norms and expectations, which members are expected to follow. But, as we are too well aware, within the larger society, we encounter issues of unfairness and injustice. I’ve been questioning my practice and asking myself: Does my classroom parallel the oppressions of our society? Am I reinforcing and reproducing what is happening in the larger society in my classroom?
