Buckley's Schoolhouse adventures

What they learned

 Kids in grades 1-8 learned different things. Like they called math -arithmetics, they also called spelling-orthography, and they also studied manners. Also girls didn't go to college.    Although, if only they were lucky, they would only go to two years of high school.

What they had

The schools in the 1916, were very different from ours today. They had desks bolted to the floor so they couldn't move them. If they were to brake any rules they would not clip down, they would put their nose on the chalkboard. They also used chalk boards instead of smart boards. There was only one room.  It was grades 1-8.  They had 1 hour recess in grades 1-8. They sat in rows arranged in grade level. If they needed to go to the bathrooms they had 2 outhouses that seated 3 people.  

This is an example of a schoolhouse in 1910.

Teachers

Teachers had different rights than our teachers. Teachers that were girls couldn't get married, but teachers that were boys could get married but the entire town would have to agree with his bride. The teacher was the nurse and the principal, and the music teacher only visited them once a week. Teachers were only paid $3.50 a week. And girl teachers couldn't were bloomers.
