Another school year has, or is about to begin. And, as in years past, my thoughts wander back to the experiences from attending a 1-room school. Back then we sang, ‘School days, school days — reading, writing, arithmetic. Brought to you by the tune of a hickory stick.? The song these days might be, ‘School […]
