I grew up in small town America. After I got my first computer I discovered there wasn't even 300 families in that zip code. The school I graduated from had K-12 in one building and had kids as far as an hour away.
I used to think that one day when I retired I would get a small summer place up there, but as I've gotten older I know it's not realistic given if one needs anything more than stitches or broken bones set the closest hospital for trauma or serious illness is 2 hours away.
We lived on a military base until I was in the first grade and then we moved out to the "farm". Very rural, my mom paid for kid sitting me with eggs, we drank goats milk and ate vegetables from our garden. I loved it.
But then when we moved closer to town we loved that too. No more chores that took forever, convieniences. Obviously you have seen my thread about preferences. I love the quiet, rural towns, but there is something to be said for living close to a city and having convienences.
How many teachers were at that school?
