The Arctic Educational Miracle
They spoke Siberian Yupik as a first language and had little world knowledge. They had low reading/writing scores. They had no computers and few books. Previous educators had written them off as “unteachable.”
The school was threatened with closure for its violence: teachers had been beaten, shot at, and their housing set afire – with the teachers in it.
For complex reasons, the district (on the Alaska mainland) entered them in what at the time was considered the most difficult academic competition for young people.
Seventy-eight percent of the students at the national finals were from schools or programs for the gifted. To make matters more difficult, the Eskimo students had to compete on subjects, such as genetic engineering and nuclear waste, they had never heard of before!
They studied while hauling water (the houses had no running water), while scraping seal and walrus skins, and once while in skinboats, hunting whales. They overcame enormous academic deficits, personal tragedy, fire, and educators who, believing that “studying hard is not good for Native students,” tried to stop them.
