In the last couple of weeks we completed an oral history project about schools in the past. We all interviewed an older person to find out about their memories of school. Some of the accounts were very funny. Lots of things have changed since then, including the abolishment of corporal punishment and the use of technology. We discovered too that some things have remained the same, like the games played in the school yard and the subjects studied. There is a lot to be learned by listening to older people. If you would like to read these accounts the project is on display outside room 15.
