在肯特郡罗契斯特市的文法学校的一堂练习课上，8年级小学生被告知：假装他们拥有100英镑，要思考自己的生意需要哪种奴隶。

The parents have dubbedthe worksheet 'racism by the back door'.

家长们称这份练习说明表是一种“隐蔽的种族主义”。

Posting the exercise on Facebook, Cheryl Phoenixsaid: 'I suppose they feel this is appropriate and there should be no offencetaken to black students. Maybe we should "JUST GET OVER IT".

将这次练习课发布在facebook上的Cheryl Phoenix说：“我推测他们可能认为这种练习是恰当的，并未冒犯黑皮肤的的学生。我们应该会‘克服一下就算了’。”

'It's a harmless maths question, with nohistorical or current feeling attached to any parties.'

“这是个无害的数学问题，不涉及到任何团体的历史或现在的感情。

Shirley Palmer added: 'This is state of Britisheducation in 2017. We have been here before in the past. This type of materialis not allowed in English schools.

“所有的父母一旦看到，都为此会表达不满。这是从罗契斯特文法学校流出来的。这是一种隐蔽的种族歧视，会让黑人小孩们在这种教育体系里继续失败。”

“这是一种心理上的伤害，教师们知道这一点，这会让人们直观的联想到黑人的父母。”

The worksheet asked pupils to consider whichcombination would be most suitable for their business.

这份练习说明表还要求学生们考虑哪种组合最适合他们的生意。

But the school has defended the exercise, whichthey claim forms part of the Department for Education's history curriculum.


但学校已经为这堂练习课提出辩护，他们说这是教育部的历史课程的组成部分。

A school spokesman told Kent Online: 'Wecategorically condemn slavery and racism of any kind, whether historic orpresent, and are extremely proud of our multi-cultural school, and the tolerantand inclusive atmosphere that we foster every day to ensure all our studentsare well-rounded young people.

学校的发言人告诉肯特在线：“我们对任何性质的奴隶主义和种族主义都表示绝对的谴责，无论是历史上的还是正在发生的，并对我们的多元文化的学校感到非常骄傲，我们每天都在培养宽容和包容的气氛，以保证所有的学生都成为全面发展的年轻人。



A Rochester Grammar School (above)spokesman said they 'categorically condemn slavery and racism of any kind'

罗契斯特文法学校（上述）的一名发言人说他们“绝对的谴责任何性质的奴隶主义和种族主义”

'This means weabsolutely teach students about the horrors of the slave trade, and theworksheet adapts primary sources of the time to illustrate the awful reality ofslavery. We also include additional lessons on the horrors of the MiddlePassage and life on plantations.'

“这意味着我们必须将奴隶贸易的可怕之处完全传授给学生，这份练习说明主要来源于当时的信息，说明了奴隶制度可怕现实。我们在外加的课程中还将展示奴隶船的中间航程和种植园里的生活。

Parents have to be careful: at a school that Iknow there is a man on a crucifix who seems in great pain. He was a Jew andthis toleration of cruelty to Jews seems anti-semitic. Then I know a schoolwhere they did this play, I think it was called Macbeth, where - you won'tbelieve this - there were witches on the stage. And I don't even like tomention a play called A midsummer night's dream and they kept referring to

家长们要留意了：我知道在一所学校里有个男人被挂在十字架上，看起来很痛苦。他是个犹太人，但他对针对犹太人的残酷行为的宽容态度似乎有点反犹太主义。另外我还知道有所学校正在上演戏剧，名字好像叫麦克白，你都不敢相信的是，舞台上竟然有两个女巫！还有一出戏剧我都不想提起，叫仲夏夜之梦，老是提什么……

This looks like a part of a bigger exercise withsource material from the time, auction adverts, drawings from the time etc, theidea is to encourage discussion and analysis to try to understand how and whythings happened in the past. Pretty sure they will all have come out of themodule knowing how vile the process was. If the kids are racists they will havepicked that up from home.

听起来这堂练习课是更大练习课的一部分，这种大型的练习课包括历史上的原始资料、拍卖广告、古代的绘画等，其目的在于鼓励学生讨论和分析，努力理解历史上这些事是如何且为何发生的。我确信他们会通过这个模块了解奴隶贸易的过程有多卑鄙肮脏。如果小孩们是种族主义者，他们也是从自己的家里学来的。

What part of history is this lesson taken from.I ask as Britain got ride of the slave trade a long time before even theAmericans did. And let's also ask the question what outcome did they expectfrom doing this lesson? We all know the buying and selling of a human being ispart of history, we just don't know the expected outcome of this lesson on thepupils of the school. This is important to uate if this could have beendone in a different way.

这堂课来源于哪段历史？我问过英国人在英国人之前已经放弃了奴隶贸易。我们还要问一下他们想从这堂课得到什么结果？我们知道买卖人口是历史往事的一部分，我们只是不知道这种小学生学校教育的预期结果。如果这种事用不同方式来做，评估其预期结果是很重要的。

Yet again the soft and fluffy brigade are out inforce cashing in their racism cards. Stop being so sensitive and get a gripwould you? The race card thing is getting REALLY boring now. I wish I hadsomething in my back pocket that I could bring out every time someone did orsaid something that I didn't like but, unfortunately for me, I can't, I'mwhite.

人畜无害的大部队再次倾巢出动，打出了他们的种族主义王牌。不要再这么敏感，抓住重点好吗？种族牌现在真的让人厌倦了。我也希望我有一个东西，每当别人做出或者说出我不喜欢的事，这个东西都能百试百灵，可惜我没有。强调一下，我是白人。

I'm with the school on this. How can peoplelearn from history if they don't know what happened? This immersion into theslave market is designed to get them really thinking about what it would havebeen like to have been a slave, and the consequences of the actions taken inthose days. I wish people would stop seeking to take offence when none isclearly meant.

在此事上我站在学校一方。如果不知道过去发生的事，如何向历史学习呢？只有沉浸在奴隶市场的场景里，才能让他们真正思考如果身为奴隶他们会怎样，以及那些年代贩奴的后果。希望人们不要再对显然没有的意思大发雷霆。

So what? History is littered with horrendousthings such as slavery. Not talking about it or learning about it in Historyclasses doesn't change History. And learning about past atrocities should helpus avoid repeating them in future.

那又怎样呢？历史上到处都是这种奴隶贸易可怕的事情。历史课上不谈论或者不教授这种事，并不能改变历史。通过了解过去的暴行有助于我们在将来避免这些事。

Although i'm a believer in Grammar Schoolsespecially those which once existed in Britain's provincial inner-cities Icannot condone the mentality behind this excercise. It trivialises the days ofempire where slaves were bought and transported.

虽然我相信文法学校，尤其是英国省级城市的那些，但我不能宽恕这些练习背后的心思。它将帝国时代买卖奴隶的事情碎片化了。

Yet again the easily offended scream 'racist'without realising the context. We mustn't filter the past, and unfortunatelythis did happen, and must be recognised, which the worksheet does. While itcould have been presented differently, the accusation that this is 'racism bythe backdoor' is ridiculous.

又是这些敏感的家伙在不顾语境的尖叫：“种族主义！”我们不能对历史加以过滤（选择性的展示历史），很不幸这种事确实发生了，我们必须承认这一点，而这份练习说明就是这么做的。虽然这件事可以通过不同方式展现（各有各的表述），但将其指控为“隐蔽的种族主义”就太荒谬了。

Isn't the important point here is that this isthe kind of callous disregard for human feelings that depicts the slave trade.I think as long as the point of the exercise is to draw attention to this, it'sfine - those are facts and actions that people at the time considered and took.If we are to understand just how brutal slavery is, we need to put thisperspective on it. That said, I myself am white (but come from a verymulticultural background) so perhaps I do not have the emotional understandingto cover every pupil in the class.

不顾人类的感情来描述奴隶贸易是一种冷血的行为，难道这一点不重要吗？我认为只要练习的重点在于将注意力吸引到此处，这就是好的——那些是事实，也是当时的人们所想所做之事。如果想要了解奴隶贸易的残酷之处，就需要从这一点出发。即便如此，我自己就是白人，但我的文化背景是非常多元化的，所以也许我并不能理解到班上每个小学生的感情。
