Keeping Children in School Article Review

The article points are based on the analysis centers on the Montreal Catholic School Commission (MCSC). MCSC was the largest Quebec education board during the period of 1929 to 1940. In around 1930 MCSC enrolled close to a hundred thousand students from the primary and secondary school, most of the students were from the French origin whose parents were hit economically through the depression. A formidable obstacle to regular school attendance and learning was the most significant physical want needed by the students in the time of depression. MCSC abandoned conceptions enshrining the learning endeavor, the student welfare was diversified, and the need to add a more standing policy on freed education was established. Finally, the authors end with the conclusion that sums up all of his work in two paragraphs.

To achieve this, the author highlighted the possible challenges the student faced during the period of depression. This was not only examined in the broader perspective resulting from their parent’s economic background of the time, but also the effect based on the physical need of the students are examined. Conclusively, Wendy Johnston is a scholarly write that sets his argument perfectly and arranges them correctly before presenting them in a text. The challenge he exhibits in his writing is, however, assuming the principal claim to effects, for instance, assuming that the children suffered because their parents were hit by depression.
