Yep, kids can’t even spell now.

Name that witness: “I don’t do cursive.” :-)

I note the word “God” appears...

The reporter or editor finds this “eerie”?

The one that mentions God probably offended him/her/\

Many more at source.

What’s haunting is that apparently schools have been hiring the laziest least competent contractor available for over 100 years.

Wonderful find. Amazing that the people who installed the new boards left the old boards with the writing intact. Did they do that on purpose as a sort of time capsule?

1917 could not have been a happy year. The war in Europe had been going on for three years.

April 2, 1917 — President Wilson went before a joint session of Congress to request a declaration of war against Germany. Wilson cited Germany’s violation of its pledge to suspend unrestricted submarine warfare in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, as well as its attempts to entice Mexico into an alliance against the United States

April 4, 1917 — U.S. Senate voted in support of the measure to declare war on Germany.

April 6, 1917 — The House concurred.

December 7, 1917 — The US declared war on German ally Austria-Hungary.

Moms, Dads, sisters and brothers all over the country had to be terribly worried. I wonder if the kids in the school were protected from the year’s bad news.

My mother, born around 1900 had a notebook full of penmanship exercises. The students worked on writing everyday. The work was incredible. Boys and girls both had excellent penmanship.

The word “God” was in that school all that time?

Sherry Kishore told the Oklahoman. “Some of the handwriting in some of these rooms is beautiful.”

Don’t say much about teachers these days now do it Sherry.....and your one

I bet back then they taught kids the difference between “lose” and “loose”.

Pretty cool. And remember, those teachers drew those colorful drawings after school. They didn’t leave the second the union told them they could — they worked on their GASP own time.

Funny comment: “Hundred bucks says that method of teaching multiplication was infinitely more effective than Common Core.”

[RIghtwardHo]

Amazing!!

“Educators” today could learn a lot from these old chalk boards. I’m surprised the school district wants to save them.

Mysterious ancient scribblings!

I guess Thunderbolt and Lightfoot forgot their stash at this school.
