    New Catholic school 1960: First grade 106 students; other 1st grade class 104.   Not until 6th grade when addition to school built that class size decreased to 60 each/3 classrooms ---all with just ONE teacher in each classroom..

    No vaccines  just polio  received in 1962. Brother  got every communicable disease; I missed scarlet fever.  Parents were EXPECTED to help kids with schoolwork ---  we all survived to adulthood.   This too shall pass making us stronger, in my experience.

    Hang in there!

    Yup, but I think many more moms were home at the time, vs today, no?

    I read somewhere that this was Chicago 1937.  Makes me wonder if my grandma had any of these radio lessons.  She would have been 9 in 1937.  She told me some VERY interesting school stories from that time, but never anything about no school due to polio.  She was frequently punished for writing with her left hand.  The teacher said only devil worshipers were left handed.
