We always kept it simple and meaningful over here. Primary school - age 5-11 Secondary school - age 11-16 Further education - 16 + Higher education (college, universary, etc) 17+ Prior to this system we have 'Nursery school', (kindergarten) pre-school, playgroups from 3 years on, these schools are not mandatory. Our youngest started school when she was 1. She went 3 days a week then when she turned 2 she went 3 days a week. Now that she has turned 3 she goes to school 5 days a week What school takes a 1 yr old?

I was at Corkran Junior High. (NOT middle school) Wasn't Junior High grades 6, 7, and 8 and isn't Middle school grades 5, 6, 7? Not sure when and why the change occurred. I was in elementary school from 1st to 6th grade. Junior High was 7th, 8th, & 9th. High School was 10th, 11th, & 12th grade. I don't know when they started the middle school stuff.

I was at Corkran Junior High. (NOT middle school) I DETESTED Corkran with few exceptions. Gym teachers Rusko and Christi were excellent. There was an art teacher, easy on the eyes that would probably be arrested these days. Corkran was great! I still have close friends from that time! Coach Christi was awesome, and I remember that art teacher too... There was also an algebra teacher that was way too distracting to concentrate on numbers...

There was also an algebra teacher that was way too distracting to concentrate on numbers... Let's see, 8th Grade I had a Arminger... in a swim suit WOW she just died tho saw her obit. Algebra was McWilliams I think... nice enough but you're thinking Asher perhaps. the art teacher was from deep south insane drawl but had a set and loved to rub up against the boys. Probably the most unfair thing I ever had with a teacher at Andover... algebra taught by a Iranian that couldn't speak English. Was the black shop teacher still there, always with a big smile, Haywood? I feel guilty, we tortured him... staring lathes with wrenches still attached. Small motor shop the next year, starting motors with the oil caps off... always fun to see 30W dripping from the overhead. OK, maybe Corkran wasn't all bad for Jr High kids that were what... 13 - 15?

Do you think you're Jesus Christ because the bartender says to you "Jesus Christ, are you back here again, I just threw your stupid ass out".

All I know is that she is in a classroom with real teachers learning real subjects. I think the ratio is something like 4 teachers to every 3 students so it's very beneficial because theres a lot of eyes watching her and they can detect early on any signs of hyperactivity or other learning disorders and mental problems.

I thought McWilliams taught History.(?) She was a tiny woman. I had not stopped growing and still I towered over her. She was a big Bobby Kennedy supporter, and cried in class after he was killed. My Dad used to drop me off in the morning. The morning after MLK was killed, I remember hearing on WCAO that the only school closed in AA Co was Corkran. We were outside the school and I saw kids were going in, like normal, so I went in. It was a crank call to the radio station. We spent the day watching TV, and talking about it. It was a very somber day. Asher sounds right for Algebra. I liked Mr. Haywood. Real nice guy. Mr. Rau in Science was fun too. He had a real dry sense of humor.

No, I had her for Algebra 1, saw her a few years later she stopped by in the gym and wished me luck in the upcoming wrestling tournament. I liked Haywood too, like I said he always had a big smile but that didn't leave him untouchable to torture. No idea who Rau was, had Mrs Thummel and a man who's name escapes me. Had a old man for Civics looked just like Dr. Zorba.

Going to GBHS in the fall of '69 meant freedom was close. I turned 16 in January 1970, and aced the driving test. I took the test in my Mom's first year '70 Monte Carlo. You could land a small plane on that hood. It was like driving from the back seat, but wow, it was cool!
I bought my first car, a '65 Corvair Monza, for $350! Seamist green, white interior with bucket seats, and a 4 speed. Suspension upgrades from previous year Corvairs made the 2nd generation more like a Porsche, then "unsafe at any speed". I had a blast in that car.

I had a blast in that car. Well the 2nd gen Corvairs LOOKED a lot better anyway. Before the ragtop I had a 61 Valiant....slant 6 was unbreakable except for the transmission. I bet I drove it 6 months, no 1st or reverse. Always needed to carry guys to push me out if I were going to Greasy Macs. Remember Krebs Sunoco on Crain and 5th? My best buddy worked there for his father... when the old man went home I got use of the lift and tools. Cars were so easy by comparison back then, the Impala had a 327/350 from a 65 Vette in it when I got it for $350. No time flat I spun a rod bearing. So I'm broke, hit Mom up for the 30 bucks I needed since I can't get to work so the guy at Airport Gulf sold me a old 348. Push, pull, click click I was riding again.... less the tire smoke but even a big pig block would use the same bellhousing, xmission, tranny, shifter... everything as the small block. Nowadays.... not so much, maybe the air in the tires are the same.

Anyone hang out at Perring Parkway shop ctr? Big cruise scene there in 70 and on. I just had a stripped 63 Chevy Biscayne with a straight 6 & Powerglide with absolutely No Options. Had an 8track with good speakers though. My best buddy had a white 57 Chevy with a slightly warm 327 and 3 speed tranny. We were just a couple Broke HS grads and couldn't afford anything like the Rich Kids had.

Watching my father build things in his basement woodshop."Helping" my grandmother make egg noodles and/or bake cookies. My wifes father was a self taught master cabinet maker. She tells me the story...that.....for many years almost each and every toy she had except for a doll or two. Came out of his workshop. Doll houses, sleds, wagons, pull toys. Because they couldn't afford many store bought toys. I have seen his work...incredible. One she told me about stands out. He built her a complete kids kitchen complete with cans of food and such. Back in the day ...she tells me...there used to be 'mini' cans...samples if you will of things like corn, peas etc. And here parents collected them and put them in the kitchen.

I wish I could go back and see what places looked like before McMansions and townhouse developments were built. I also wish I had been able to eat at Haussner's.That place was awesome. If you liked german food that was the go to place. I loved the food, the eclectic décor (I mean 'the worlds largest ball of string') mixed in with paint by number clown pictures next to some ...said to be real...works of art from masters. And the waitresses....they were works of art themselves. Older women for the most part....each and everyone acted like you were their grandchildren....it was really sweet. More than one said; 'Now eat up or there will be no desert'. Not only was the food great the experience was great. Shame it had to go.

Lets see, riding bikes to FRIENDSHIP Intl, sneaking under fence by the old Benson House, then sneaking inside a old B-25 parked in the back forty and playing Sky King. Never damaged anything, just played. Playing football most everyday in winter, baseball everyday in summer. Playing in woods, playing with fire and cutting trees down. Walking RR tracks looking for Coke bottles, 2 cent deposit. Baseball cards were 5 cents with a huge wad of gum inside. Yeah, lot simpler back then and we made our own fun. Malls like Harundale were still a novel thing but one could always get model airplanes or chemicals for his chemistry set. Damn bird....except for the airplanes...you and I did exactly the same thing. Oh god chemistry sets. Were they fun or what. Our generations version of 'A Christmas Story' ….hey kid you'll blow your head off. And damn well you could....just using the chemicals and the FORMULA book. You could make gunpowder and no one thought twice about it. And balsa airplanes...maybe a buck or two and a tube of Dupont 'Bond anything' glue steal ......ahhhh borrow a handful of stick pins from Mom's sewing basket and you were set to go.

In the summer, my mother would pack a picnic and we would drive to DC. We would eat lunch on the mall and visit the museums. Elementary school class trips, Smithsonian was the BEST EVER! Franklin Institute and the perpetual clock and earth rotation counter.

Wish I could have ridden a Baltimore streetcar. My wife could tell you stories. The big one was going to Gwynn Oak Amusement Park and taking the trolly. Kind of funny in a way....we live only two blocks from where the park used to be.

My father would do the same as your wife's father. He made a circus scaled to HO complete with train and wild animals in the cars. The people were made out of pencils and my mother dressed them - big hats, long skirts. It was incredible. When I was little we took a trip to see Mt. Vernon and I fell in love with the bedrooms. He made me a complete bedroom with canopy bed, nightstand, everything. It was an exact replica of one of the rooms at Mt. Vernon.
