- Description
Titled `'White Flight', the cartoon shows white herons soaring gracefully to 'Decile Ten Land'. Below, black pukekos trudge to 'Decile One Land'. One holds a placard: 'Hav pity on the Meori kids/ hoo wend there way to skul/ and lern their English spelling/ with its total lack of rool'.
'White flight', i.e. richer, mainly white, classes of society, arranging to send their children to better schools is common. The children of the mainly Maori lower classes were concentrated in the lower decile schools, where their education suffered. The cartoonist also comments on the complexity of English with its supposed lack of rules.
Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
