where did children go to school during the dust bowl
to California
The Okies, or Dust Bowl Refugees, were impoverished farmers primarily from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri who were severely affected by the Dust Bowl during the 1930s. As the Great Plains faced devastating drought and dust storms, many sought better opportunities and migrated to California in search of work and a more stable life. This mass exodus highlighted the struggles of the Great Depression and the resilience of those seeking a fresh start.

To fully understand the importance of soil to the "dust bowl" one must first understand what the "dust bowl" is/was. The "dust bowl" was the area of rich agricultural lands in the mid western United States which, due to deforestation, severe drought and other factors became barren. As the vegetation succumbed to the drought the soil was exposed to the wind. The wind picked up and blew the topsoil away. Reforestation and wind breaks now serve to mitigate the winds effect on the soil, and better farming practices help to hold the top soil in place. To answer the question, soil is important to any region but is extremely important to the "bread basket" of the United States that was once turned into a "dust bowl".
Due to inaccurate record keeping at the time and that most of the affected regions were sparsely populated/rural it is impossible to know exactly how many people died. Some estimates go as high as 7,000. At least 2.5 million were left homeless or were forced to move by 1940. The long-term side-effects of dust inhalation and related diseases likely caused many more deaths over time.
In the dust
they had to wear masks. and they couldnt go to school
Life for California farmers during the dust bowl was horrible, the farmers would go plant their crops and when the dust bowl come their crops would be black and start to rot because they became not any good anymore.
sometimes after 8 grade they would stop school and go help on the farm they also did not have the best school supplies in the world the words in their books were worn and faded
Life was very hard. There was no inside plumbing, no heat, all food had to be raised by the family. Kids couldn't go to school when the dust was bad.
Most want to California and other places away from the dust.
