John,  Sadly not many, kids got a great education in the old one-room
schoolhouses but now it's economy of scale.  It's more efficient to have a
whole lot of kids studying the same thing than 10 kids in 8 grades all
using different text.  Where is she teaching?  I think most of the ones
left are up north.  Ruth
