It wasn't red, it was painted white. The building is used as a house now. And frankly, those little schools did a better job of educating kids through 8th grade and they were socialized in a better way. No gangs. Not enough kids to develop cliques. Maybe the smaller schools are, the better and safer.

I asked my parents how they taught 8 grades at once. The teacher would bring up one grade at a time to a bench in front of the blackboard. A grade might be just one or two or three kids and teach them for about 45 minutes while the others worked on their own or read at desks in open sight of the teacher. That was it. Less than an hour per day of instruction but they learned.

I think our giant schools might h/b set up as industrial education factories. And that might not be the best model for kids.
