Reflection on Meadow School, 1888
© Diana Yakowitz all rights reserved.
I spent the day at a local plant nursery in Skagit County on Best
Road, my favorite in the area. They have a demonstration garden at
this old one room school house from 1888. But, I was more curious
about how neat it would have been to be educated in one room with the
help of all ages. I think that the elder benefit from teaching the
young by seeing their progress and vulnerability and the young from
the elder by their experience and example. It is too bad that we box
individuals by age alone.
A quote from the wall on another one room school house says: “A dead
thing goes with the stream, but only a living thing can go against
it.” unknown author
