Grade 1-5–Barasch transports readers to a simpler era in public education, long before "cable in the classroom" ever darkened the double doors of most modern schools. Grandpa describes the three-room country schoolhouse that he attended in the 1940s, which held grades one through eight, with lessons for several grades taking place simultaneously in each room. Much of the work was rote memorization disguised as fun and games: "spelling bees, geography bees, history bees, even multiplication-table bees." In the seventh grade, when Grandpa's family moved to the city, he was shocked at how his no-frills education outshone that of his urban peers. Years later, Grandpa the professor delights in the foundation laid by his old-fashioned beginnings. The watercolor-and-ink illustrations create a solid sense of time and place. This gentle story unfolds nicely, captivating children and raising intriguing questions about the effectiveness of a "country school" education.–Catherine Threadgill, Charleston County Public Library, SC |
