However, students had many course offerings to choose from, which made “hitting the books” more bearable. Teachers searched for ways to interest students in their classes. Some teachers took their classes to Daylis Stadium, Pioneer Park, and various businesses to expand the student’s knowledge in that certain subject. Still other teachers found that the classroom atmosphere was sufficient for conducting interesting experiments such as holding a mock session of Congress and producing student-made commercials. “About once a week Mr. Nesbit would tell us a story that would take the entire hour,” senior Jeff Walker said. “It gave us a break from the humanities routine and made returning to the books a little more exciting.” For many stude[...]t books and essays, but teachers struggled to change those attitudes.XJ 138 Aca[...] |
