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 familylike atmosphere in which children also learned
from one another. In Tales from Kentucky One-Room School Teachers,
William Lynwood Montell reclaims an important part of Kentucky's
social, cultural, and educational heritage, assembling a fun and
fascinating collection of schoolroom stories that chronicle a
golden era in Kentucky. 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 behavior (such as the quiet
little boy whose first "sharing" involved profanity), and variety
of other topics. Montell even includes some of his own memories
from his days as a pupil in a one-room school. Tales from Kentucky
One-Room School Teachers is a delightful glimpse of the history of
education.
