You were so busy! I'm ...Oh my goodness Wendy. You were so busy! I'm with Sue..it's really interesting to see how different American education is from my own. At my school (which I hasten to add was not necessarily like others in Australia) - extra curricular activities was on a Friday afternoon. Each term you chose what you wanted to do. One term I did sailing, another I did golf..sometimes you could do carrer focussed type things. I think in the first term I didn't have my act together or something or maybe didn't get my first choice...somehow I ended up in a health centre or something...soooo not me....I couldn't wait to get out of there. I must confess that by and large I have an appalling memory and am very impressed with how much you can remember. Most of it is just a blur to me.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-3065328743909521022016-04-28T14:49:59.488-04:002016-04-28T14:49:59.488-04:00Extra curricula activities in my schooldays meant ...Extra curricula activities in my schooldays meant the Stamp Club(stamp collecting), the Debating Club and the usual sports groups. So your post threw a fascinating light on American education. I must admit I have never come to grips with the sororities etc. I loved seeing the fashions and hairstyles in your photographs - brought back my own memories of the 1960's.

As a teacher, I didn't like the way my school handled club activities. Once a month, we rearranged the school day to hold all club meetings in the morning. When I was yearbook adviser, I had a room full of kids who were there just to be some place but who had no interest in being on the staff. That made me grumpy!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-49704896833351832042016-04-28T07:04:44.785-04:002016-04-28T07:04:44.785-04:00I was busy!I was busy!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-76784228558874526262016-04-28T07:04:34.895-04:002016-04-28T07:04:34.895-04:00HA HA now Bob, I'm not that kind of girl.HA HA now Bob, I'm not that kind of girl.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-62492786444416344262016-04-28T05:50:20.554-04:002016-04-28T05:50:20.554-04:00I used to hate extra-curricular activities as a sc...I used to hate extra-curricular activities as a schoolgirl. I just wanted to get home and do my own thing. And as a teacher, I didn't really enjoy running the activities either. I was too tired and often grumpy. But the kids had fun and that's what mattered in the end. Nice post.
