Description

In a past column, we wrote about our fascination with England and with British primary education, past and present (Grossman & Williston, 1999). As we visited English schools and spoke with friends there, we became interested in an event during World War II that involved young children. Beginning in 1939, thousands of children from urban areas that were designated potential bombing targets, such as London, Bristol, and Plymouth, were evacuated to villages in the countryside. They boarded with families strange to them, sometimes for as long as four years. We were struck by the irony of a scheme that had the best motivation--saving the lives of thousands of children--but also had the potential to be emotionally devastating to the children and their families. We wondered what this experience was like for the children, for their families left behind, for the people who took them in, and for the teachers who taught them. What was their new life like? Did they adapt readily to life in the country? What was school life like? How did teachers cope with the flood of new pupils? As we considered these questions, we could see parallels with disastrous events and conditions that children today must face. We believe it is important to connect with our past in an effort to understand it, avoid repeating it, learn from it, and help children today and in the future cope with difficult experiences.
