Old Mrs. Lawson ran the show at the one-room school in Honey Grove, Pennsylvania and she was my mother's inspiration to become a teacher. My grandfather photographed her by the schoolhouse door in 1958 on the school's last-ever day of class. The new consolidated elementary school opened the following fall. View full size.

of Mrs. Pollard, my Sixth Grade teacher at University Hill Elementary, back in '63. She also reminds me of the teacher in "A Christmas Story" by Jean Shepherd.

Heroines All

Submitted by Baxado on Fri, 05/15/2015 - 11:46am.

I would just like to say hear! hear! to the one-roomed school teachers. I married into a teaching family of three generations and it is all thanks to my mother-in-law who taught in a one-room school in Cynthiana, Kentucky in the late 20s. My wife seen here, became a school teacher because of the wonderful influence my mother-in-law had on her. Then my wife's niece followed in her aunt's footsteps and also became a teacher.

They are truly heroines no matter how many rooms the school has.
