In high school, we had pay phones in a couple places. Get a bathroom pass make a call lol
I definitely recall them opening the doors and letting us run out the playground/parking lot. We just went and found our ride. Buses were in the front, completely opposite side of the building.One thing I can think of that astounds me is how the drop-off/pick-up works now. I drive by schools with lines of cars, all waiting to pull up to the porscibed spot to let their kids out, and my understanding is that this is the ONLY way for them to arrive. When I was a kid, you just showed up - walked, or whatever. My mom might let me out a block away to avoid any congenetion near the front - ther was nothing orderly about it. That was all considered fine. We also just hung out outside until it was time to assemble in the gym for pledge and prayer (Catholic school).
As a fellow left-hander, I can definitely relate! I had semipermanent ink stains down the side of my hand all through school until I learned a better way to hold my pen.If you got in trouble you had to stay in during recess or stay after school and write sentences on the chalkboard - just like Bart Simpson.
Will also add cursive - as a left-hander this was torture. The teachers absolutely insisted on holding the pencil just so, resting in the crook between your thumb and fore-finger. Yeah, that's not how left-handers do it. It smears what you just wrote and you can't see it. My 2nd grade teacher could not have cared less. Still irks me to this day and...it's been a lot of years.
Finally, for sure. Just doing some checking and in the late 1930's was went the majority of milk sold was homogenized. Surprised they could even get unhomogenized milk., and at the start of 4th grade we were all astounded that there was no more cream collected under the cardboard cap of the milk bottle; we had homogenized milk finally!

If we were good, we got to help the teacher by making copies and cleaning the erasers. lol
And we really did consider it a reward.
