imagine todays public school teacher in a classroom with 35 kids teaching them arithmetic, English, religion, reading comprehension, spelling, history, geography, etc and even having time to turn down the lights and READ to us....those reading sessions were the best.....
I know people complain all the time but I will say I had the best Catholic school nun teachers and my grade school time was fantastic, except when I didn't get picked for cheerleading...:(
I went to Catholic School in Brooklyn in the 50’s. There were 60 in a class and the nuns managed it without a lot of chaos.
I did manage to get a ruler on my knuckles when I accidentally knocked a plant out a window.
PS I’m still a klutz.
