One room school houses worked and worked well.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The mother of my roommate in nursing school taught in a one room school house into the mid-1950s. It was then “consolidated”. The children are now confined in a building that likely looks like a minimum security prison.

I read an article not too long ago that indicated there are still a few one room school houses around in some of the more desolate areas out west. I don’t recall much more about the article, I just remember being somewhat surprised that there still were some out there.
