I'm a little late, but I was watching an interview with a residential school survivor and he described getting the strap and hit with books and other things, but that was just how schooling was back then. My grandpa got the strap multiple times in school, and my great uncle was forced to write with his right hand even though he was left handed. Molestations, etc, those happen even today in our school system unfortunately. What did the kids die of? Do we have proof of abuse? I have tons of questions and all the media gives us is emotional fluff pieces.
Spot on! This was the education of the time. Kids were expected to work! Corporal punishment was considered the best practice, not abuse. White people starved to death during the great depression, so they did not prioritize lavish meals for kids. Plagues devastated population. If the entitled people of today want to twist this into a race war they can go to hell.
