This colorful collection of stories celebrates a fascinating aspect of Kentucky's cultural heritage in "a fascinating look back at a bygone era" (Kentucky Monthly).
In an educational era defined by large school campuses and overcrowded classrooms, it is easy to overlook the era of one-room schools, when teachers filled every role, including janitor, and provided a family-like atmosphere in which children also learned from one another. In Tales from Kentucky One-Room School Teachers, oral historian William Lynwood Montell reclaims an important part of Kentucky's social, cultural, and educational heritage, assembling a fascinating collection of schoolroom stories.
The firsthand narratives and anecdotes in this collection cover topics such as teacher-student relationships, day-to-day activities, lunchtime foods, students' personal relationships, and, of course, the challenges of teaching in a one-room school. Montell includes tales about fund-raising pie suppers, pranks, outrageous student behaviorsuch as the quiet little boy whose first "sharing" involved profanityand many other topics. Montell even includes some of his own memories from his days as a pupil in a one-room school.
