[quote=Anonymous]1978 -Phonics -Grammar -No test or quiz retakes -Very rare to ever get an extension on homework. Only if you were really sick. -Individual desks facing the front of the room. No desks pushed together or group desks. -Having our own supplies. No shared bins in the middle of group desks. -Textbooks! Workbooks! -Parents were not involved. If a teacher complained about us, we would be worried about our parents reaction to US. They wouldn’t defend us to the teachers -latchkey kid. Made me learn how to manage my time on my own. -Letter grades in elementary. No wishy washy grading. -No cell phones and no kid shows on tv other than for a hour or so after school and on Saturday mornings. So we read a lot more books, newspapers and magazines. Also played outside a TON. [/quote]
