great at understand, thank God.
Sandy, Yes, that sounds like a horrible story of the real life
of old school teachers. I know it might have drove me crazy
to try to teach and take care of so many children of different
ages and personalities!
interesting to read.
Lois, I am sure it was so much different then and I am sure
that the teachers felt personally responsible for the kids
that she took care of then. The menu doesn't go as far back
as I would like to see, but I am going to post it now.
Thanks all
