Get this....

At the Ocean View Secondary School... the students all line up outside of their classrooms in two lines- one for boys, one for girls.  The teacher waits for them to settle down, then lets them in the room.



Then.... they come into the room and stand next to their desks.  Their teacher says "good morning (afternoon) 10E (or whatever class it is)" and then the students say "good morning miss."  And then they sit out and get out their notebooks.  Every time another teacher or the principal comes in the room, they stand up to greet them.


Then.... they take crazy neat notes with boarders and excessive use of rulers.

So, you are planning your power point for Brooklyn? That was how school was in the 1950's in a Catholic elementary school in Poughkeepsie, NY. And, maybe we should bring it back?? Why not?
