But ...I didn't attend a one-room-school-house. But I did have 2 classes to a room. One room had 2 classes in it. Another room had 2 classes in it. And a third, the same.<br /><br />Guess it was a way of life back then, in a small community, and the teachers were just fine with it. :-)<br /><br />I especially remember my dear 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Murry. She took it upon herself to help me learn-to-spell. (It didn't work, but she certainly tried) <br /><br />And she used to have times for reading books out loud, to both classes. I LOVED that!!! :-)<br /><br />Thank you for the prompt to take a trip down memory lane, myself. :-)<br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />"Auntie"Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-61690800469327462932012-08-13T19:44:59.029-07:002012-08-13T19:44:59.029-07:00That's why women teachers WAY back then were c...That's why women teachers WAY back then were called OLD MAIDS... That's what they were. I had several Great Aunts who were teachers and they never married.... Very interesting...<br /><br />YES---things have really changed... I have a friend in Texas who is still teaching ---and she talks constantly about how much harder it is to be a teacher these days. Kids are not taught respect in the home ---so the teachers have alot of discipline problems that I didn't have when I taught...<br /><br />I never seem to have extra time --but I love to sit on my swing on my deck and watch my birds...Pure relaxation.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Betsy Betsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-35648765366986560182012-08-13T17:42:39.682-07:002012-08-13T17:42:39.682-07:00Times have really changed, even from the time when...Times have really changed, even from the time when my children were in school.<br /><br />I can remember being smacked across the knuckle with a ruler when I was in grade school, for no good reason that I can recall. lolBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020604933621899108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322931360530621321.post-26834280512466672262012-08-13T17:02:22.530-07:002012-08-13T17:02:22.530-07:00Oh, dear!!!

The rules for the students were quite clear, but today would probably be considered abusive. Yes, times have changed a great deal!<br /><br />As for my "spare time," I enjoy spending much of it on Facebook, as you know. If gas ever gets reasonable again, one of my favorite things to do is to just get on a road that leads to an unknown place and follow it for several miles. I have made many interesting discoveries that way over the years, and would love to be able to do it some more, as there are still places I have not explored nearby. Yes, I'm just a bit silly! :-)Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030804555004881453noreply@blogger.com
