whenever i went out to the school eva brown, they were there. and here's a school that i thought, as a 21-year-old right out of college, "if i have children one day, i would like them to be here," because the way she ran her classroom was exquisite. i would come in my shiny new car, and she would just stop everything, and say, "ah, miss richard is here today. children, let's stop and gather around and listen and see what she has for us today, what we need to do," you know, for her. and then i would do my testing and things, i had a corner of the schoolhouse, and so forth. i went to the other one and at least half the time nobody was there because hazel had let them out early. and the following year, all of the children had to go into the consolidated school district, and the ones from eva brown's school did, without incident, and they all stayed. the ones from the other woman's school went, but then there was a renegade group that went out and started their own school. but that's time for that. what i learned best was taught to me by philip aike
