@WorkElizab Lol! Those of us who took extra courses like typing, shorthand, business, etc. got the office and legal summer and college year part time jobs.

@aroog1278 They had home training, lived near extended family or neighbors who were like family, went to houses of worship including programs for youngsters, and embraced quality music, books, games, and movies for their age.

@Jassmini2 All the youngsters have brought many menus to my house, and the local restaurant workers drop them off constantly in the doorway or car windshield. Plus some other items are around and the little ones want to operate everything from then to now.

@Monica55dzrh Young enough to hopefully still be around...

@Kristinartz Jewelry, but no class ring since that item was saved for college.

@Hoorain154 Absolutely! I grew up in the NY area. We always said Mr. or Miss-Mrs-Ms and their last name. Sometimes we just used first names if they insisted. Living in Philly I am still not adjusted to being called Miss or Mrs. followed by my first name.

@Suzanne35187794 @lippyent It is still done in parochial and some charter schools.I saw this when I did some substitute teaching not long ago.

[Arlene Edmonds @AEWriter]

@lippyent Sure. In fact when I was doing substitute teaching a couple of years ago they still have home room in high schools.

[Arlene Edmonds @AEWriter]

@Stopworkplacebu True! Some even told me so.

[Arlene Edmonds @AEWriter]
