Went to a Catholic school in Seattle, which in those days (1956-63) was actually a Catholic school. Now, it’s nominally Catholic, but basically takes its cues from the surrounding secular, “progressive” culture. It is NOT prophetic in any sense, but rather a follower of secular trends, with a veneer of Catholicism. They like Pope Francis.
St. Francis of Assisi K-12. Then Allentown central catholic 9-12. Then public college, Florida state....wow what a difference. Lol.
K- 1/2 3rd grade = BVMs
1/2 3rd Grade - 8th Grade = PHJCs

Razed years ago.
K-6, public school where we held paper drives, played kick ball and red rover red rover. You had to know your tables. You had to read books. You had to say yes sir and yes ma’am. Very typical of the times
Warwick Elementary, which later was renamed for the local police chief, Samuel S. Yellen. Later, Sullivans School in Yokosuka, Japan, for a short time before being transferred to Kinnick, aka Yo-Hi, in Yokohama.
Parochial school K-8. A third of the teachers were Sisters of Charity (Mother Seton’s canonization was a BIG deal) and the rest were lay women, most of them mother’s in the parish.
I grew up in Ventura, California. Here’s the list of schools I attended in K-6th grades: Washington, Mound, Montavo, Mound, Loma Linda, and Blanche Reynolds 1948-1956.
Gus A. Oleson Elementary School, Houston TX
I went to Fremont Elementary in East Long Beach, California starting back in the early 1950’s, and through sixth grade.
Back then Long Beach Unified School District was rated the best in the nation, and then came the Moonbeams, and that was the end of that.
I passed through the most liberal public school system in Massachusetts—The Lincoln public schools. The very heart of liberal darkness.
There may be a more liberal public school system somewhere but none can be more arrogant than the educators in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Lincoln attracts people like Elizabeth Warren and John Kerry. Neither of them live there, but Lincoln is loaded with snooty professors and filthy rich trust funders who are of that type. Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of good Americans in that town, too.
My folks were conservatives from the Mid West who ended up there after my Dad retired from a Navy career and got a job on Route 128 (major highway circling Boston with lots of good jobs). It was a hellacious place to grow up but I’m like Rush in that I know liberals like I know the back of my hand. I had lots of chances to study them closely.
Many of my friends are liberals. My very best friend—now dead—was a sincere liberal. He was misguided but not phony.
I now live in Vermont in the liberal bastion of Chittenden County, where Bernie Sanders the Communist got his start in politics.
Phoebus elementary school, Hampton, VA.
Ruus Elementary and Peixoto Elementary, both in Hayward, California.
Quite a while ago. I won’t say how long, but we learned to nap flint for arrowheads and studied Latin - NOT as a second language... (by the way, you don’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never eaten woolly mammoth steaks.)
St. Joseph, Boise, Idaho. 1st Grade only.
Why do you ask?
Literally little house on the prairie.
1960 boonies Minnesota.
Grades 1-12 in the same classroom,
potbellied wood burning stove in the
exact center.
We walked thru the coat room to get
to the main classroom. The smell
of homemade bread permeated the
place.
The amazing thing is we all got
along with each other.
Our school bus was a 1938 Buick.
That thing never did get stuck
in the snow...
