I went to school in the late 40's and in the 50's. Things changed a lot after that, every decade it was completely new. But I wanted to talk today about my experience. Just something I thought of so I'm gonna write about it.
Walker Creek had every grade in one school, so kindergarten to grade 12 were all in a big school building. It was built around the mid 1920's if I remember correctly, before that they just had two smaller schools. The teachers in Walker Creek when I was there were strict and evil, at least as far as I remember with my teenage biases invading those memories. I meant they did beat us with rulers, but other than that they were just strict, which made me not like em. I was a slacker in school, so the teachers were even stricter with me. Not the best decision on my part but my brain wasn't even fully formed so give me a break. It was pretty focused on sports like football, baseball, that kinda thing, instead of academic things. No clubs or advanced classes or anything, just the basic stuff and then you're pushed out into the real world to either work at a shop or be a lumberjack. Again, small towns are very different than what you all expect. Unless you're from a small town of course, then you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. - Trevor
