Presentation The YouTube video is located at: https://youtu.be/vK3MytG-AOc Based on the trend data from Smith Middle School, there is a drop in FCAT scores from 7th to 8th grade in both Reading and Math (Binder, 2016). A 40% proficiency in 8th grade Mathematics is not acceptable, as it means that only 40% of the 8th grade scored a level 3 or higher in Mathematics for the 2011 school year.

The idea for the boarding school first came through treatment of Cheyenne warriors. In the 1860s, Americans were in the midst of a major western migration

Boarding schools are scary enough for children who speak the same language. Imagine a village, soldiers come in and take the children, age five and older, away in a wagon. The children arrive at a school far away from home, family, and culture. Separated according to age and sex, stripped of their clothes, bathed, and forced to stand still as they get their hair cut, many are crying, terrified of what is happening.

Canadian Indian Residential Schools: Truth Be Told Katy McNabb HIS755 - Material Cultures of North America October 30th, 2014 The history of Canadian Indian Residential schools has attracted a considerable amount of attention in Canada in recent years.
