The truth of residential school

            The residential schools were not a nice place to be at all. Because of the chronic under funding education was substandard. Even though they were living in the school they spent very little time in the classroom. Many of the teachers were very cruel people and they were not nice to their pupils. Even the schools textbooks were outdated and pretty much garbage. Even though they might have been in grade 10,11,12 their level of education was still only at grade 3 but they were still expected to do everything that a normal grade 10,11,12 student would. Students were extremely malnourished and starved. Their food was substandard and there was little variety. When the students were eating pork and beans the teachers would be eating extremely elaborate meals. The children were used as a labour force and expected to work on farms and in sewing lines. .
             The real reason that these schools were built was to assimilate these aboriginal children into Christianity. There was racism towards the students and some of it came from other students. The students were not allowed to speak their native language they would have to speak English. If they were heard speaking their native language they were severely punished. They were even given a European name and they were not allowed to use their native name. They were forced to convert to Christianity and some of these aboriginal youth didn't even know that they were becoming Christians at the time. .
             The discipline was brutal at the schools. .
