Boarding school

of Indian Boarding Schools was to assimilate Native American children into the “white” culture. The famous saying of “kill the Indian, save the man” seemed to be used as the motto for these Indian Boarding Schools. As stated in the book “The boarding school ‘was the institutional manifestation of the government’s determination to completely restructure the Indians’ minds and personalities.’” A superintendent stated the purpose of their school was to “change them forever.” These schools were…

growing but to this age has not been a straightforward process full of more downs than up. Born just after the end of the civil in Uganda, I am the second born of eight children. My parents did not have an opportunity attain more than seven years of school, and they were married as teenage parents. Absolute poverty and misery characterised my childhood. We were raised in small one-bed room grass thatched house with no electricity, and we lived on a meal a day. My peasant parent could not even…

general what comes to mind when one thinks about the average public High School? First there's the cinderblock walls, ironically mimicking that of prisons, if not for their colorful hand-print wall art. Then you have the boring lunches, which tend to trick the masses into being tasteful with their overload of caloric salt and oil content. When comparing America's public high schools to that of the most elite boarding school in the nation, the differences are far beyond singular. For the…

a. What were the goals of the Indian boarding schools? Since the time of Thomas Jefferson, there has been an attempt to assimilate the Native American tribes into the European way of life. After the removal and resettlement of the eastern tribes to the Indian Territory day schools are set up to teach the children of the tribe the “right way” of living.

went to an excellent private school. Then, I made a decision that would provide more hardship than I had ever faced: Attend a military boarding school just 1400 miles away from home. From the second my head was shaved and I was being yelled to attention, everything that once had seemed normal ceased to exist. Everything about the school was a shock, from its environment to its atmosphere to its structure and discipline. What I would come to realize is that this school was a much more accurate…

fresh bald haircut on Thursday. The big game on Friday was cancelled due to the disappearance of grass, and the newly remodeled gym was covered in a fog that smelled like a spray paint. Westboro High was not just any school, but it was a respected and highly selective boarding school for the gifted. No kid dared to slip up in fear of ruining their chances of being re-selected the following year. This week was no ordinary one due to the fact that it was the first ever record of mischief. The grey…

It was at this lunch meeting, and while sitting in the garden by the main entrance she heard a voice and looked up. For a moment she was in a trance. Time travelled back and forth with sweet nostalgia from over 40 years. The little girl in a boarding school recognized the young lady standing in front of her, her sister by misfortune who lost her father so young and who had walked in her shoes. This meeting not only helped Manale set up the fashion house, but also pushed her to embark upon the…
