I am happy to share the folk school. Basically, this was a place where one received education, both academic and practical, and where one also received care.
Teaching healthy living.
Exercise, bath, sauna, and swim. BTW fellow American, are you noticing something is missing? I am not seeing any clothes in three of the four pictures...Just sayin'. BTW: I was walking with a friend of mine several months ago. We passed a city school. She told me that there are bathing facilities in the basement and that many years ago, children were required to come to the school on Saturdays for their weekly bath/shower.
Children received medical and dental care.
Lessons in stitchery, weaving, shoe making, exercise, taxidermy (?) and more.
A tellurium to conceptualize planetary movement.
Penmanship
Made a mistake? Not a problem.
Just erase the chalk with your rabbit's foot eraser!!!
I am pretty sure that this is the daily schedule from 1850.
Once upon a time Swedish students learned German as their second language.
That changed sometime after WW II.
English lessons!
Christianity and History
Technology.
I took this photo for my family.
We had one almost just like this in our home in Western New York.
I love this. It is how I learn best.
Basically, they took a food, let' say, 100 gm's of egg, and broke it down into its components:
X amt. of fat (in one test tube) X amt. of protein in another test tube etc.
Wonderful!
Anyway - so here you have the Swedish folk school. At least from 1847 - 1980.
