This article explores the oral histories of students who attended elementary school in southern Ontario during the Great Depression. The evidence presented provides a glimpse of the teacher-pupil relationship during the 1930s. These include memories of the authoritarian presence of the teacher, social distance between teacher and pupil, and the use of corporal punishment in the classroom. The recollections that are the basis of this article were originally part of a larger project that included the oral histories of both teachers and students. Using the example of the Great Depression, it sought to examine the relationship between social/economic crisis and schooling. During the process of compiling these oral histories two events resulted in the abandonment of this approach: a reading of Foucault's The Archaeology of Knowledge and an awareness of the existence of the document Programme of Studies for Grades I and VI of the Public and Separate Schools first issued by the Ontario Department of Education in 1937. This article considers the reasons for abandoning the original project and subsequently revisiting the oral histories at a much later date. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
