Curriculum of Identity

I was once part of a group of people that were treating a person badly. That person was not very bright and failed his tests often. He missed school for no valid reasons quite often and we weren't amused by his childish antics. We tried to ignore him and tease him. I did not feel that it would affect him at all as he did not seem to mind. In retrospect I realised that what WE did was actually childish. We did not consider the possibility that he might have some family problems at home which caused him to miss school. We also shouldn't have teased him as now I feel that his expression was not what he was actually feeling
