We got electricity when I was 6. Before that is was the "Iceman" that came every few days. Even so, my Mother cooked breakfast for us every morning and lunch was usually some of the breakfast in a couple of biscuits. I don't remember ever being hungry. I grew up never having a bicycle. There were 7 in my first grade class, and 5 in the grade higher.

We had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades in the same room.
Less than 20 total.

After my 2nd year, they hired a new teacher, and grades became....
1+2
3+4
5+6
7+8
The new teacher was my MOTHER!
I had her for 3rd + 4th.....UGH !!!

Back when I was a kid I was doing exactly that, Running a full gravel and sand pit in the front yard with all my trucks and tractors.
We lived on 10 acres so plenty of room to dig.
Well wouldn't you know I picked the exact wrong spot to dig and hit the phone line.
Cut that sucker clean in half.
Amazing what Tonka toys could do!

Kids these days are spoiled

Oh No fried !!

We always had 2 grades per room in grades 1 through 6. After that you moved across the hall where they had a study hall and you went to a different room for each subject. I suppose that is still the way it is now. The only time I ever returned to that school since 1961 was when my sister graduated in 1965. Dat was a looong time ago.

That kind of "playing" is spot on Ford.

As a teacher for a long while - we gave up a long time ago with study halls - covid was invented to replace that study hall - poor kids have never recovered !!!

We had 3 grades in my first school and one classroom.

My class (first grade) was the biggest in the school in years with 11 kids. 2nd grade had one kid, and third grade had 2 kids

After 3rd grade, they got bussed to the elementary school in another town.

They look to me like two adorable children, being raised by parents who know what is important in life!
