3rd Grade Learning
March 22, 2006
In 3rd grade we where learning about color and one day while learning about how black is the combination of all color I made a drawing of outer space and used the black [without using the black crayon] to be "nothing" so the idea of black on paper being "everything" was confusing to me. I remember saying something along the lines of "It's what blind people see... black." And my teacher responded "How do you know?" so I told him "because when I close my eyes all I see is black." but he wasn't buying it. I forget exactly what he said but it was along the lines of "You can't know that *that* is what blind people see" and so on and his responce made me very frustrated.
I've since realized what my teacher was saying. The basis of his argument was that you can't say "Blind people see black" because you have already determined that they cannot see by using the label "blind".
