How different was school when you went? [View All]

[Red State Rebel]

Born 1957, went to public school in a semi rural area. It was an all white area, which I regret. I never had the opportunity to talk to or interact with a black person until I was out of High School.

Lunch was .25 (my mom made lunches for us) milk was .02 and on Friday you had the option of getting chocolate.

When it was your classes time to go to lunch you lined up and quietly walked to the cafeteria, went through the line and went to the table and sat in the same order. There was quiet chatting, but you weren't allowed to get up or be loud and crazy. When you were done, you got up and in the same order filed past the trash can to throw your trash away and take your tray, if you had one, to a window by the kitchen. Quietly walked back to class and that was it.

Girls HAD to wear dresses back then. That didn't change until I got to High School.
