When I read this chapter I can completely relate to the first part. There were always going to be cliques inside the school walls, you had to have someone to look out for you and vice versa. The kids who were interested in the same things at my school were the ones that usually hung together as I’m sure are the same in many other schools. As I kept reading I could also understand how children would fight throughout the course of the school year. I know that when I was going to school I would get in fights as well, being around people for so many hours at a time some people tend to get on your nerves. One of the things I wonder is what the punishment would have been like for the children who fought.
Hello Tyson,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but laugh when I read that the students would divide into cliques. Especially, when the students would split into cliques based on what tribes they were from and speak their own language to eachother. Very nice post!
I really like your picture. I seen it also while searching and it made me think of all of the talent that there must have been in these boarding schools, such as Jim Thorpe. He was lucky enough to be discovered at Carlisle Indian School. It seems like there would be more American Indians discovered at these schools.
