Residential schools are poorly funded, they force kids to do chores that kids in Canada don't do during school and they have limited school supplies. Kids In residential schools are forced to learn in unsafe environment and old run down buildings. They don't have a lot of money and they have to work hard by doing a lot of labor just to keep the school running. They have to do their work in difficult conditions just like children in developing parts of the world.
Schools in developing countries are just like residential schools. Developing countries have limited money to support the schools so they rely on the labor of the students to keep the school running. In 2008 I saw a school in Cuba with my own two eyes and it was a very sad experience. A fence of randomly sized and shaped logs ran along the perimeter of the school. The Logs were barley standing up and they made the school look very depressing. The children at school don't have air conditioning. That makes it even harder for them to concentrate in the summer. They walls of the school looked old and worn down. They even had to ask tourists for donations to the school because they had no money to fund it.
The way Saul describes the school reminds me of the schools in paces like Cuba. Both schools have worn down buildings and a limited amount of money. Some school in developing countries don't even have roofs. Sometimes They don't even have a building to learn in. Children have to sit outside and learn because they can't afford to build a school. The students in these countries also have to do chores for free just like the kids in the book. Students in developing countries will have to do things like wash the floors, collect water and wash the chalk boards. These are all thing that the Aboriginal kids in the book would have had to do in residential schools. In conclusion, the school in the book reminded me of schools in developing countries because both schools have little money and the kids have to do chores to keep the school running.
