Moccasins for Shoes with Charles Moran

Today we get young teachers that come into their schools that maybe want to be there for a year or two and then they might want to go home because they’re out in the middle of the Prairie nowhere to you know so they wanted to go someplace else or closer to home so they leave us right away so then that trust factor like they don’t want to open up to their teachers yeah I have a grandmother that told a story when town boat wanting to go to school in the worst way really wanted to go to school and this was probably in 1940’s somewhere in their mid-forties water still down it was one of the day schools I think yours in shell Creek she wanted to go to school and I worst way with her brothers and sisters she had a lot of brothers and sisters she’s the one of the youngest ones and so she went she sat at one of them little desks and that teachers walked by she said you have to go home and my grandma said she’d understand why she had to go home she said you don’t have any shoes on yeah I have shoe she said and she had moccasins on those are not allowed here in this school you have to go home and put on shoes and my god remembers that still today and she’s an educator she taught and had started for many many years 30-some years and to be treated like that to go to school and still become an educator you know she crossed a lot of barriers a lot of thing is that the government told her that she couldn’t do you know so even like within our day schools the day schools were built because they wanted to get the kids away from boarding schools that was the reason why they built those day schools they wanted their kids to be home
