Having read “The Last Class: The Story of a Little Alsatian” and “Behind the Native
American Achievement Gap,” in a paragraph (below), discuss how assimilation* through
education is viewed by Truer and Monsieur Hamel?

Both Truer and Hamel view educational system and its assimilation as negative. According to them, the educational system forces people to comply with its rules.

Explanation:

In “The Last Class: The Story of a Little Alsatian”, Hamel is a French teacher who, although successful in his job, feels that he is only giving a useless talent to his students.  In “Behind the Native  American Achievement Gap,” Truer argues that the boarding schools created by the government do not adequately preserve the Native American culture. Children are, for instance, forced to cut their hair, which is a distinctive characteristic of their culture. An opinion shared by both Truer and Hamel is that people should explore the issue of education more thoroughly.
