Mae's and "saying sorry" and when that is not enough..
Mae's Schools has reportedly issued an apology after to a child and his family, days after denying they discriminated against an indigenous child. There was an important process which started with protests from the parents and allies of the child, and a recognition of the government agencies and an attempt to facilitate a meeting. I have relatives who have attended Mae's schools and their families have been satisfied by the education and care they received. There is an ongoing issue with Mae's in the community I live. "Saying sorry" is easy to do, which is why I don't accept apologies and why I am reluctant to give them. When I regret my actions, I try to recognise the feelings of other persons and to agree on redemptive action. I have learned to do this after listening to people say sorry to me without meaning it, and repeating things. One person apologises even after I have insisted that I do not want any apologies, just for us to work things out...
