The main problem with the residential schools was that they were completely transforming the culture. I think a better way of being able to teach these kids could've been to maybe teach them english as an additional language, and not completely change their culture.

To be honest, I didn't know much about residential schools before i did this project. I am shocked about what the residential schools did. I had no clue about how they changed peoples cultures and especially about how the treated and abused the kids, and even got some killed.
