I began my eighth grade at Greenview, a one room school that had its beginning shortly after the close of the American Civil War, about 1870. There were nine of us students spanning six grades – third through eighth. Each class had its individual lecture time while the others worked on assignments.
The teacher’s name was Mrs. Hines. She was probably somewhere in her early thirties, a farmer’s wife, and she drove a stake bed truck to school.
Today’s teachers seem to expend a great deal of time and effort with lesson planning for the one grade they teach. I’m wondering how Mrs. Hines coped with so many lesson plans for six different grades?
I also attended a one-room school in Oklahoma for 4 years. Good memories. And when we moved to a much larger school in California, we all did well academically in the new environment.
