Am I older than you?
Am I older than you?
That does bring back memories.
Gee, looks familiar. I remember a motorized thing where you put an opaque bar over the text and it would cover up the text if you didn’t read fast enough to stay ahead of it.
That didn’t last long. At least in those days if a teacher thought something was crap, they had the ability to stop using it. Same with our first modern math book. The instructor (nice Danish fellow) finally said it was stupid and that was the last we ever saw of it.
I remember SRA!
Even that picture of the train, I thought it looked on fire.
We could all order these cheap little books but there were
series available, we all looked forward to the day they arrived.
Oh, man, I loved the SRAs. I went through those series like crap through a goose and couldn’t wait for the next ones to arrive. I remember going through the different colors, working my way up through the ones that we had in the class. By fifth grade, I was reading at 8th grade level.
I remember that!!!
In spite of it, I can READ!!!
However, regarding the “New Math” of 1966, I’m a mathematical moron.
I guess I’ve batted .500.
Not bad.
Thanks for the memories, painful as they are.
