My grammar school teachers all seemed like they were relics from an earlier time...tough old Irish fish wives, long black dresses, black practical shoes, and mean rulers and ear pulling skills. High school a smattering of rather substantial men who doubled as coaches were athletes in their own right and many WW2 vets. There were no disciplinary problems.😎 Only one smoldering hot teacher..a librarian to die for!
This was of course when America was still America in the 1950’s.
