Residential Schools: Should Residential Schools Be Continued?

Residential schools should not be continued because of common practices, family, and knowledge. To begin, residential schools should not be continued because of common practices. Aboriginal children are already used to their common practices from home. They have been hunting and preparing food, and interacting positively with nature for at least four years. Adjusting to the new lifestyle they are put in is odd and difficult for them because in residential schools, the children do not hunt and prepare their own food, and they are not encouraged to interact positively with nature. Secondly, residential schools should not be continued because of family. When aboriginal children are suddenly put into a residential school, they are affected by the time spent without their family.
During these years, the children have grown a special bond of love with their family. When they are put in a new environment, like that of a residential school, they are bewildered because they deeply miss their family. Finally, residential schools should not be continued because of knowledge. Aboriginal children are accustomed to what they are taught at home. For at least four years, they have used their proper language for everything that they have done, and have learned aspects of life differently that what is taught at residential schools.
