Did anyone here go to school in a one-room schoolhouse?

[Redstone]

I didn't, but I did got to a four-room school with grades one through eight.

With two grades per room, that made it easy for me to take first and second grades, then third and fourth grades in one year each. That's why I graduated from hight school at 16. Just in case this little tidbit of information is interesting to anyone.

But I'd still like to know if anyone here went to a one-room school. I know there are still more of them out there than many people would think.

4. That is our absolute heart's desire...

It's great to see that other's share the same passion for living. It's too bad we're in the minority of group thinking in this arena. They've been sold the "gated community" society.

Pity.

2. My grandmother taught in a one room

school house in eastern Montana in the 1950's. I never saw it, however.

3. We had 3 grades in one room.

We had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades in one room and 4th, 5th and 6th in another. Also had boys and girls outhouses. The school was consolidated when I finished 2nd grade.

6. My favorite school year was ina 4 room schoolhouse. It was

all one grade (5th). We had gym in the basement. There was a ghost in the attic next to the nurse's office.

Everyone took turns serving lunch.

We wore armbands to protest no coke machine.

The principal (my teacher) wore pants that you could see through with patterned boxers and all he ate for lucnh was red jello.

I have the BEST memories from that year. It's no longer a school, it's a Legion Hall or something now.

7. No, but my dad taught in one.

He began teaching at age 19, and had his two kid brothers as students. Weird, huh?

8. No, but the school I went to in first grade had grades 1-12 in it.

No elementary/middle/high schools, because the town's population was under 1,000. One cool thing, though -- I had the same first grade teacher my dad had when he was in school.

10. In 1964, there were so many kids in our district . . .

. . . that my kindergarten class was held in an old church. Which was cool, in its own right . . . but the coolest thing was, there was a small orchard, maybe 100 ft. x 150 ft., of old apple trees. And that was our playground!

11. Yeah

But it was a good-sized room.
