Teachers and students scribbled the lessons multiplication tables, pilgrim history, how to be clean nearly 100 years ago. And they havent been touched since.
This week, contractors removing old chalkboards at Emerson High School in Oklahoma City made a startling discovery: Underneath them rested another set of chalkboards, untouched since 1917.
The penmanship blows me away, because you dont see a lot of that anymore, Emerson High School Principal Sherry Kishore told the Oklahoman. Some of the handwriting in some of these rooms is beautiful.

It's sexist, homophobic, and promotes religion...and even has non-common core methods of learning multiplication.
Ole Goiterneck.
You can tell he’s an old white guy because he didn’t know how to spell “ur”.
I read a note written by a teacher last week who did it. Something about funding and he wrote, “If we don’t do this we will loose the money...” ARRGH! It did come around 10 years ago, I don’t know why. I think the best I ever read was on one forum these two guys where exchanging nasty posts at one another, and one guy wrote “Are you a little lose in the head or something? Why don’t you shut up looser!” LOL!
...chalkboard ping....
“Oh, Miss Crabtree, there’s something heavy on my heart.”
Bests the heck out of Common Core!
decided to show an Adventures in Odyssey video (yes video) in Kids Church. . . Escape from the Forbidden Matrix. . .a 2001 video which shows the dangers of getting hooked on video games which perpetuates wasted time. . . . that video was a self fulfilling prophecy. . .roll the calendar forward 14 years and what do we have now. It is very sad. The discussion afterwards was mind boggling. I am truly repentant for my wasted years but this has become an epidemic that is downright unhealthy mentally, physically and spiritually. Jacks and pick-up sticks anyone?
I tutor and the students cant print, write, spell, memorize math facts, and read.
hate tah(to)say it I blow it on those all the time...
I am not a teacher
you left out "louse"
plus the last place I ever intend to be sure my spelen and gramer a good is here so don’t look for it
How does it work?
I see a sequence of 2-4-6-8
Then a 3; the third number after that is a 6; the third after that is a 12.
I don’t see an obvious pattern otherwise.
Wash the chalk Boards ??!!?
NOT MY YOBS MANGA !
And “you’re” and “your”.
What? no drawings of teachers teaching kids how to put a condom on a banana? no descriptions of homosexual acts? no asking kids if their parents have guns?
There was no color in 1917.
Of course you are absolutely correct.
Color was invented sometime around 1939, in the middle of the production of The Wizard of Oz.
“There was no colored chalk in 1917? Really?”
This is an oblique reference to a Calvin and Hob cartoon where Calvin’s father explains that old TV shows are in B&W because there was no color until 1970.
I looked for a link the strip but couldn’t find it. IT is one of the funniest things you will ever read
If those were in Mrs. Dendy’s classroom there would still be 100 y/o students in there too. No one left her class till the boards were cleaned, hell or high water.
That was the first thing I thought of too seeing the headline!
