Share Your World

Di, at Pensitivity101, is our host for Share Your World each week. Here are her questions for this week.

1. What do you miss most, if anything, about your school days?

It’s been a long time since my school days, but I’d say the social aspect of interacting with other students was one thing I miss. I’d like to say it was the thrill of learning new things, but I’d probably be making that up.

2. Did your school have its own sports field or swimming pool?

Our elementary school shared a large field with an adjacent recreation center. There was no swimming pool. Our middle school (grades 7-9) had it owns sports field, but no swimming pool. Our high school (grades 10-12) had its own sports fields and a swimming pool.

3. What was your favorite day on the school week?

I’m sure it must have been Friday

4. Did you have one teacher for a variety of subjects, or separate teachers for each?

In kindergarten through sixth grade — what we called “elementary school” — we had one teacher for the entire school day and for all subjects. From the seventh through twelfth grade, we had a “homeroom” teacher and then, throughout the school day, we’d go to different classrooms and have separate teachers for each subject.
