Question

Who did m hamel blame for neglecting the learning of the mother language?

Answer 1

M. Hamel believed that students alone were not responsible for not being well versed in their native language. Neither students nor parents understood the significance of knowing their language. The students were busy in playing and their parents somehow wanted to make more money by putting their children on farms. Even he himself did not give as much importance to learning as it demanded. He took a leave whenever he wanted to go fishing without caring about the class. Nobody was anxious about learning French when it was readily available. That is why he argued that they all have a great deal to reproach themselves with.
