Eighty-one in my first-grade classroom in Chicago in 1956. Sister Mary Lawrence, OP. Never a teacher's aide.

My great aunt was a Sister of St Joseph who taught 100 boys in one classroom... she said you could hear a pin drop they were so well behaved. From another time when parents still disciplined their children.

Schulschwestern der alten Garde waren großartig!!! Eine Nonne für alle diese Kinder.
