In response to "My point is, you can't shout "6-12% MORTALITY RATE!!!" and then try to compare that to modern institutions." by Ender

Who did that? Other than someone else comparing to "projects" schools in the US

"Can you imagine any school system in Canada or the US today having a 6-12% die-off every year?"- Beryllium Oct 6, 15:00 (26) -- nm* - Ender Oct 6, 13:06 10
- We're talking about like 1908 though, right? -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 15:05 (17) -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 13:07 9
  - Nope -- nm - zork Oct 6, 15:06 (1) -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 13:08 8
    - Nope, as in there was horrible shit happening for many decades after that, into the 70s at least. - zork Oct 6, 13:11 7
      - Bery was certainly comparing it to modern school systems. -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 13:13 6
        
        "Can you imagine?" isn't really a comparison. And the mortality rates in these schools were a lot higher than the Canadian average for school children - Roger More Oct 6, 13:19 2
        
        Which is also an apples and oranges comparison, given that average school children don't go to residential schools. - Ender Oct 6, 13:22 1
        
        The point we are trying to get across is that we are talking about a population that has been disadvantaged for a long period of time. - Roger More Oct 6, 13:27
        
        I was saying it would be unconscionable in a modern school system. - Beryllium Oct 6, 13:16
        
        so reply to him. -- nm - zork Oct 6, 13:14 1
        
        I did, and then you kept replying to me. -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 13:20
