When I was a child, we had 2 shoes to share among 10 people, and we all wore the same clothes at the same time. Our schoolhouse was 35 miles and we had to leave for school at 7pm the previous night to make it there in time. We had to go down by the creek, take all our clothes off, jump in the water holding our clothes and books in the air so they wouldnt get wet, and paddle our way to the other side of town where we then walked across hot coals, and a brick road to get to school. In the blizzard weather we tied potato sacks on our feet and look the long way....lol

When I was a little kid--about 5 or 6--I spent some time on my grandparents' farm in Wyoming.  I remember a trip with my mom and little sister to the outhouse in the middle of a snowy night.\n\nWhat a miserable experience.  Yes, I am very thankful for indoor plumbing.\n\nIncidentally that was about 60 years ago.

I had lots of good ones, and plenty of bad ones, but my favorite was Mr. Gursslin, 6th grade World History teacher.\n\nHe was interested and enthusiastic about his job, and he wanted each one of us to make informed decisions and think about things critically.  In fact, he didn't let us read our history book b/c he said it was really biased, so he printed things off the Internet for us to read before class.  These articles often were written from the points of view of other countries, so they brought up a lot of dilemmas I wouldn't have seen otherwise.  \n\nHe dressed up a few times, too - once as Eleanor Roosevelt even! \n\nDedicated, caring, and intelligent, he is remembered by my former classmates and me, and what he taught us has influenced us in our professional, economical, and personal lives.

I loved whichever subject had an interesting teacher that year.  My Grade 11 Physics teacher got me so interested in his subject, and my Grade 12 English teacher got me to love literature. My Grade 10 English teacher got me excited about writing.

Some of the favorites when I taught first grade were The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Stone Soup, The Carrot Seed, Love You Forever, Good Night Moon, all the Mercer Meyer books, The Runaway Bunny, Pablo the Penguin, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, A Salmon for Simon, and the many wonderful predictable books with rich language and some repetition so that the kids can learn to read them fairly quickly.

Here's one for ya..I was about maybe in the 3rd grade and we went on a trip to the local Zoo.. At that time.. The elephants were only chained by their ankles in a barn like setting.. We were allowed to feed them peanuts.. Well, some one put a peanut on my head and the elephants took it off w/ their trunks and I had elephant schmuck on my head for the rest of the day and trip home.. Everyone was laughing at me and I did not find it amusing at all.... Strange.. The things you remember when a question of this nature is posted.. Have a nice day!

I recall that recess was my favorite subject when I was in school.  I don't think as many schools offer that subject anymore.  My favorite subject now is math.

There were so many throughout my schoolife its hard to choose. I'd have to say though that without a doubt it was US history and World History in High School.  It wasnt so much the subject matter as it was the teacher.  You know what I mean....i'm sure you've had a small handful of teachers who really made a difference in your life.\n\nIn my US History class my teacher would make us reinact scenes from history using props and putting on plays. He also would come in dressed appropriately with the timeframe we were studying (like dressing like a mountain man when we were studying the frontier period). He even made out different versions of the same test for students to choose (like essay form for people good with words and True/False n multiple choice for people who liked that form of testing).\n\nMy world history teacher was friggin hilarious. He would sit and tell stories about his childhood growing up in the area and all his messed up practical jokes he played on people. He was the kinda guy who was always willing to listen and help any way he could. Super funny and nice guy....

I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade, pedalling my banana seat pink huffy bike that I had just learned how to ride with no hands... and I remember coasting down the hill, with my hands in the air, breathing in the smell of Spring, laundry hanging on clotheslines, and fresh grass and thinking to myself "I'll never forget this moment... this HAS to be what life is all about"  It was the last day of school for the year... To this day, on those perfect spring days, refer to it like.. "Ahh, it smells like the last day of school"

I did that when I was in kindergarten. Xylophone, X-ray, X-mas and Xerox.  I know the last three are kind of cheating, but that's what I did.

Thats pretty funny. I have one too.\n\n\nA group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! \n \n"You need to use 'Big People' words," she was always reminding them. \n \nShe asked Chris what he had done over the weekend? "I went to visit my Nana." "No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words! \n \nShe then asked Mitchell what he had done. "I took a ride on a choo-choo." She said "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use 'Big People' words." \n \nShe then asked little Alex what he had done? "I read a book," he replied. "That's WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?" \n \n[You'll love this] \n \nAlex thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride and said, "Winnie the SH*T."
