Children's Education

The war had a tremendous impact on children's education.  Most schools in the cities were shut down because everyone was evacuating to rural areas.  The buildings were often turned over to the government.  Since many people were moving to rural areas to avoid attacks on big cities, class sizes skyrocketed, especially since most male teachers had to go fight.  The war had a big impact on the educational system.

  1. Education seems to be such an important aspect of our lives, it's hard to imagine our lives without school. This may not be entirely accurate, but perhaps you could have beefed up your paragraph by comparing children's education in World War II to the Taliban taking away education for girls. Just an idea.
