Respuesta :

This was a conversation between a journalist and a professor of American Indian Studies, who spoke about aspects that explain and throw light on how Americans, today are coping with education, curriculum and knowledge based research.

Explanation:

This was a simple yet deep conversation that spoke about sensitive and crucial aspects of Native Americans and their education over the years. This text is for readers to understand how and why there were certain situations which created a sense of ambiguity, vulnerability and fear of the style that was followed by boarding schools for Native Americans.

Professor Truer talks about how negatively these boarding schools influenced children in the beginning of the 1900s. They created an effect on the entire generation which lasted for more than 70 years till a proper reformation of these ideas and ideology were eliminated, not completely but in majority.

The statement which identifies the central idea of the text "Behind the Native American Achievement Gap" is:

A. While education of Native Americans has improved over the years, Native Americans continue to be isolated from their culture and history in the classroom.

  • According to Celeste Headlee, the author of "Behind the Native American Achievement Gap," going to school in America still means assimilation for Native Americans.
  • In other words, schools still teach a sugarcoated version of history - one in which Christopher Columbus is a hero and where the first Thanksgiving was a utopian celebration.
  • Therefore, even if there has been improvement, Native Americans are still isolated from their culture and their history.
