Classroom Challengers - 5s to 50s, traces public education in Oklahoma as it emerges from the concept of a one-room school house within walking distance of every family farm, to the public school system of the 1990s with the new reforms that promise to propel the system into the 21st Century. The author's story begins in the rip-roaring, oil boom town of Seminole, Oklahoma, in 1927 - through the Stock Market Crash of 1929 - into the Great Depression of the 1 930s. Both took their toll of one-room school houses. Opal Hartsell Brown lived it all and intuitively, skillfully conquered it. Within these pages are many hints, suggestions and insights into the science of teaching in public schools. If you are an administrator, teacher, or a former student, you will see yourself over and over. When you reach the last page, you will fully appreciate the part Oklahoma public education has played in your life.
