Over the years, I have seen classroom teachers use this book with their senior classes but had just not taken time to read it until now. Now, I understand fully why this book should be used in every Canadian grade 7 or 8 classroom. I really felt like I had been taken inside the school, experiencing life through the eyes of Thomas, Wilson, Joey, Monica and Nelson. Their stories left me with so many emotions... through moments of sadness and fear, worry, heartbreak,anger, pain, sickness and nausea, and even pride and celebration. These children and their families were innocent victims of our government's racism. It is through remembering and retelling of these stories and developing compassion, tolerance and empathy in our society, that we can ensure these stories never happen again. Thank you to the authors and the six former students who contributed to this work for opening up their memories to the larger population. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

No Time to Say Goodbyeis a fictional account of five children sent to aboriginal boarding school, based on the recollections of a number of Tsartlip First Nations people. These unforgettable children are taken by government agents from Tsartlip Day School to live at Kuper Island Residential School. The five are isolated on the small island and life becomes regimented by the strict school routine. They experience the pain of homesickness and confusion while trying to adjust to a world completely different from their own. Their lives are no longer organized by fishing, hunting and family, but by bells, line-ups and chores. In spite of the harsh realities of the residential school, the children find adventure in escape, challenge in competition, and camaraderie with their fellow students. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, always engrossing, No Time to Say Goodbyeis a story that readers of all ages won't soon forget. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
