Question

After reading hard times, what conclusion does charles dickens want the reader to draw about the kind of people who will be the products of mr. gradgrind's educational system

Answer 1

Mr. Gradgrind describes himself as an "eminently practical" man. He lives by the philosophy of rationalism, self-interest, and cold, hard fact. He forbids his children to develop imagination and emotions.

Students who will be the products of Mr.Grandgrind's educational system will most likely be a replica of his children; emotionally impaired, self-serving, hypocrite, and manipulative.

Answer 2

It may be "They will be close-minded and unable to think on their own."
