The simplest way to understand the
British mistake in Northern Ireland is to
picture a classroom. It’s a kindergarten
class, a room with brightly colored
walls covered in children’s drawings.
Let’s call the teacher Stella.
The classroom was videotaped as
part of a project at the Curry School of
Education at the University of Virginia,
and there is more than enough footage to
provide a good sense of the kind of
teacher Stella is and the kind of
classroom she has. Even after a few
minutes, it is abundantly clear that things
aren’t going well.
