School Items No Longer Used

1. I did not know literally until this video that smartboards are a thing.

2. I had a Trapper Keeper in fifth grade. It had a kitten on it. I hated those overhead projectors. I couldn't see what was written on them. Lunch box choices were always hard, because I couldn't decide what I wanted. I'll give you what I remember, but I'm not sure how my choices will say a lot about me: ALF, Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes (my sister and I used to switch lunchboxes with each other from time to time for two years), Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, and finally in fifth grade, an insulated lunch bag.

3. My school still has analog clocks and those old pencil sharpeners

4. So true I grew up in the late 80's through 90's

5. Based on the school system today, I would NEVER have a kid…..public education is garbage and many of the kids and teachers emphasize LGBTQZXY crap and distorted history. …all GARBAGE

6. How different it is for school now compared to my time in school. I graduated from high school in 2010. I am the last generation of not using tablets for school, as tablets just had started when I was graduating from high school. I did use the Internet, the first generation of using the internet in school.

7. Report cards tho

8. I am age 36 now and was raised in a rural school. I remember all these items. Thanks for a great video

9. I learned how to write in cursive in 2nd grade using specially lined paper. This was back in the 1973-74 School year! Back in the stone age….lol.

10. "Nowadays Googlemaps makes it a lot easier and quicker…" Huh? Than pulling down a roll-up map, which takes about 1 second? Do you even think about what you are saying?

11. I remember as a kid knocking the pencil sharpener tank onto the floor and spilling out the pencil shavings. It was my dad's sharpener and I went around frantically looking for the stuff to pour into it before my dad found out.

    Okay, I didn't know its function was sharpen pencils and the stuff inside was shavings. I just knew I had to fill it up before my dad found out, or I'd get a beating.

12. Hey! That's my Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox!

13. No longer used;
    Common Sense, Brains,

14. I have a protractor and a wiz wheel ( circular slide rule) for my flight planning – Private pilot. Help you understand what's going on before you use Foreflight on the computer.

15. I went to primary school 35 yesterday ago which I preferred over high school.

16. Why is the "Blackboard" called a "Chalkboard" yet we call a "Whiteboard" a "Whiteboard" Political correctness gone OTT… If it was green it would be a green board or red.. blue… yellow… so why not a "Blackboard"? England has "Black Friday" Black knight… Black cats… (Older peolpe willknow what OTT meand)… I still have my "Sliderule" and it still works not like the equipment today obsolete in 3 – 5 years… Using a fountain pen, many kids cant even hold one correctly.

17. I still have a trapper keeper

18. Plenty of the items are still used. LOL.

19. Kids nowadays would never survive what we did growing up

20. I loved the great smell of the alcohol based "ink" of ditto copies had andcwas disappointed the smell dissipated from the paper and the fun was gone!

21. I remember the Dewey decimal system and the card catalog we had to take a test on it before we were allowed to use the library

22. I lived close to my school and I got to come home for lunch I love that that would never happen today

23. I was in high school in the late 90s but I recall seeing ash trays in a couple of the classrooms. I think they were built into something, but I wonder when they were okay to be used.

24. I'm surprised Im.not hunching over cause of my books in my backpack we were working out and we didn't even realize it

25. Had that first lunch box

26. Book Covers with pictures of your school.

27. Remember Dick&Jane and Ali & Jerry Books?

28. I am so glad I went to school in the 90s

29. my fav memory was making out with my gf between classes.

30. Books!

31. When they were popular, movie projectors were just movie projectors, they weren't thought of as reel-to-reel. It was a given that a film came on a reel and wound up on a reel so there was no need to say it. Saying it would be like talking about a 4-wheel car.

32. We still had chalkboards in our school where i was until 2020

33. They forgot one thing in australia we dont get the leather strap or the cane on your calfs anymore

34. I used a fountain pen. Before class you had to fill it up with ink. Oh and remember egg sandwiches, you’d be ridiculed because it smelled like you’d just broken wind

35. I remember taking 20 cents for lunch. 10 cents for a banana roll, 5 cents for a chocolate iced donut and 5 cents for a jubbly (or what Americans know a a fruit box).

36. Traditional maps are still highly valuable

37. And those were the good ol days And there was the Alphabet all along the top of the chalk board.

38. Some of these things are still around. My community college had those book card files. High schools in my area still have those sharpeners too. Some things can pass the test of time.
