My 4th grade teacher was a really attractive Stanford grad student, her name actually was Miss Sweet. She was not Miss Wormwood at all, and after all these passing years I’ve never forgotten her.
Same goes for furniture, like a dining table with leaves so it can seat 14, a console for holding the silver service and a chest for the linens. We didn’t want any of it and our kids said the same thing. We learned it’s called OBS. Old Brown, uh, Stuff.
A couple of friends and I compulsively drew cars, even during classes, and we got nailed so many times by teachers for it. I ended up with a Masters in Landscap Architecture from the Harvard GSD and a great 33 year career. Retired in 2012 and have loved it.
