The 1970s - a time of great change and, apparently, some very unusual school experiences! Adults who attended school during this decade have shared some shocking stories of what was considered "normal" back then, and it's clear that times have changed.
From students driving school buses and waiting in line to get their teachers' gas during the gas crunch to being allowed to smoke on school premises with a parent's permission slip, these stories are a far cry from today's standards. And let's not forget the time a student demonstrated how to disassemble and reassemble a 12-gauge shotgun in class or when a teacher gave students boxing tips to settle disputes in the gym!
Other bizarre experiences include:
- Girls being told they couldn't play competitive sports because it might affect their ability to bear children
- A student piercing a classmate's ears as a demonstration speech
- A school having a designated area for students to smoke during breaks
- Students taking each other's blood samples to test for blood type
- Field trips to breweries to learn about beer production
These stories are a reminder that what was once considered "normal" can seem strange and even alarming by today's standards. It's fascinating to see how attitudes and practices have evolved over time, and we'd love to hear more about your experiences!
