Well I WAS THOSE KIDS!!! I loved receiving new school supplies. LOVED IT! I loved school too, but apparently not as much as you. You remembered all that! Wow, you must take your ginkgo biloba faithfully.

I wonder if I've seen one when poking through family mementos. Hmm....<br /><br />I think the school start/finish times these days are atrocious. Most of the (admittedly older) kids I know spend almost ten hours of their day at school once after-school activities are calculated in. When I was in high school (being homeschooled), I could get my "problem work" (the answering questions, working problems, etc.) done in 2-3 hours and could spend the rest of my day reading or crafting or volunteering or...doing something useful.bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-34236277335538798792010-08-13T11:56:36.815-05:002010-08-13T11:56:36.815-05:00Such a thorough post; your memory always amazes me...Such a thorough post; your memory always amazes me.

But I just found out from your post that I had the wrong words to this line: <br /><br />You wrote on my slate "I love you so"<br /><br />I've always sung it as You rode on my sleigh I love you so.<br /><br />How silly is that! Your's makes so much more sense. <br /><br />Well, I guess I've learned something new today and that's always a good thing!!<br /><br />Have a great day.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-10214553266349895172010-08-13T11:13:11.112-05:002010-08-13T11:13:11.112-05:00These are fun memories, Linda!

Much too violent for my tender sensibilities. I loved school -- well, most days I loved school.

This is a really nice post. Of course you are our teacher so you HAVE to put good stuff. I remember that catwalk but missed its being built.<br /><br />I never did buy a school lunch. The high school in town didn't have a cafeteria even. We could drive downtown for lunch. <br /><br />Were you in trouble when you broke the thermoses? Mine generally broke too. The new ones now are plastic I think.<br /><br />That mimeograph was a surprise when I left NASA to teach at San Jac. And at the school we didnt' have a secretary to make copies either.<br /><br />We sang school days way back in my time but not the others. I have never heard them before.<br />..<br />BTW, Friendswood High in 1992 when our youngest graduated still didn't have a cafeteria for lunches. They had a snack bar but the kids could drive to the BK or McKay-Dee or wherever. Mostly I think they went wherever.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.com
