Ours wasn't a one room school house but I grew up in a very small village where the school went from primary (kindergarden now) up to 12. We walked to and from school every day no matter what the weather was, on my walk home I always would stop and visit with this wonderful German lady who gave me cookies & tea and I'd tell her all about my day, he mother was one of my teachers. So mom thought it was great because I was always looked after and it didn't cost her anything lol
We basically had 6 school rooms and 7 teachers that taught all those different grades, including the school principal, and on Wed afternoon we had catechism classes with the local priest. You always went out for lunch and recess unless the weather was too bad. We'd always get excited when the book mobile would come by so we could borrow books - we didn't have a library in town to borrow from. Sitting here thinking back I had a lot of fond memories, we all wished we had a big town back then but now that I think about it I liked how things were back then.
