REDONDO BEACH USES TRAVELING SCHOOLS
Redondo Beach, Dec. 23.—Grammar schools have been closed here during the influenza epidemic, but the work of education goes on. Equipped with a small portable blackboard and necessary text books and records, each teacher calls upon each pupil enrolled in her classes and hears recitations and assigns lessons. Where pupils are living in houses quarantined because of influenza the teacher sets up her blackboard on the sidewalk, the pupil remains inside the property line and the school session begins notwithstanding the quarantine regulations.
I wonder if this was more, or less, of a hassle than the present-day task of converting all lesson plans into an online format.
