Hi. Can anyone just crosscheck these True (T) and False (F) and give their valuable suggestions.


T a) Children from Indigenous families who are being taken away “for their own good” suffer negative effects in the long term.
T b) Diversity is present only when people of different races and ethnicities are involved.
T c) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families may resist participation in Early Childhood Education and Care settings because they want to protect both themselves and their children from experiencing racism.
T d) Low expectations of Aboriginal children in schools may come about as the result of stereotyping and racism from early childhood workers.
T e) English is not the first language of many Aboriginal children, so retaining information taught in the classroom may be difficult.
F f) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people cannot be included in the national census unless they have homes with land titles.
F g) Some Aboriginal families may not want to use services that are seen as catering to families from lower socio-economic groups because they do not want their own family to be identified with this group.
F h) Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families are reluctant to trust and deal with mainstream services, particularly those services connected with child welfare agencies, because of the connection to the history of the Stolen Generations.
T i) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families are no longer reluctant to trust and deal with mainstream services, particularly those services connected with child welfare agencies, because of the connection to the history of the Stolen Generations.
F j) Forcing children from Indigenous families to learn English is justified because they are now able to express themselves freely at school.
T k) The definition of diversity includes people of different cultural backgrounds, even if they are from the same race or ethnicity.

Hello all,

I think F) should be False and I) should be True, not sure about G.
Actually I googled them and found F-F and I-T.

Just want to double check.

Thanks and Regards,
Niku :)
