不忘小红学舍(Little
Red Schoolhouse)
地方性遗产
您能想像到一个只有一间教室的学校上课,而且所有的学生,无论年龄大小,全被安排在同一个班级吗?这是国内许多学校的真实情况,特别显见于乡村地区。
贝克镇是位于明尼苏达州的一个乡村农业社区,小镇居民决定要集合并创下单一校舍经验的历史记录。镇民们收集了旧时学校建筑、内部摆设及学生的相片。另外,他们也查找了旧有的学校课本、授课教材及教师执照的州测验内容、教师专用铃及旧式的午餐提盒,所有的物品都是来自于20世纪的前半期。这些物品共同保存了一个近乎消逝的教育经历。
现在,唯一一个单一教室的校舍,余留在西北角的明尼苏达州境内,它座落于明尼苏达州的最北点,是南部48州内,最寒冷的地点之一。天使学校(The
Angle School)约有12位学生,孩子们通常搭乘船只从所居住的附近岛屿,甚至距离学校不太近的岛屿,到校上课。冬季时,有些学生会每天骑乘雪车上学。您想要在只有一间教室的学校上课吗?
Can you imagine going to a school that has only one room and where all the kids, no matter how old, are in the same class? That was the situation in many schools across the country, especially in rural (country) communities.
Becker County, a rural farm community in Minnesota, decided to get together and create a historical record of the one-room schoolhouse experience. The citizens included photographs of old school buildings, interiors, and students. They also found antique school texts, teaching materials and state examinations for the teaching certificate, a teacher's bell and an old-fashioned lunch pail -- all from the first half of the 20th century. Together these materials preserve a nearly vanished educational experience.
Today, only a single one-room schoolhouse remains in Minnesota, in Northwest Angle, at the northernmost tip of the state and one of the coldest places in the lower 48 states. The Angle School has about a dozen students, and children often arrive by boat from nearby and not so nearby islands. During the winter, some students travel daily to school on a snowmobile. Would you like to go to a one-room school?
