Not all children enjoyed the experience of evacuation. This is mainly due to two factors, either the foster parents they were assigned, or the idea of homesickness. Many children were seen as a burden to their fosters, and alot of evacuees were not educated to many everyday things. For example, more often and not, children were not accostomed to using a knife and fork. Then there was homesickness. Children were taken away for months, even years, and so of course they were to miss their family. Many children became depressed and miserable. However, there were those lucky children that were assigned kind and caring foster parents, and made many new friends in the village that they were to live. Children learned many new skills such as reading, writing and how to ride a bike. The country life suited many children perfectly, and there are accounts of children tantalising cows or sheeps and runnning away as fast as possible as these farm animals chased them. So the conclusion of the matter is that some disliked the whole evacuation process, others loved it. It all depended on who you were, who you were assigned to, and how you took to your new environment.

Problems with the evacuation plan in world war 2?
The evacuation plan during World War 2 was flawed in several ways. First of all, the government created a panic by using exaggerated figures for casualties.

As a result, the children arrived at the wrong locations, had few rations, and found out there were not enough homes to accommodate the children.
