School Days Memories Today’s Kids Can’t Relate To

11. FOOTBALL STICKERS

Did you have them all? We used to trade these before and after each class!

12. Good Old School Dinners

School Dinners were great! Believe it or not, I am not afraid to say it- I was a huge fan of cafeteria food, especially that meat that we never could place a name on.

13. Classrooms and the library were always super trendy with their super cool “Read” posters.

What a hip way to try and get us kids to read a book, eh?

14. We were always rocking a flashy metal lunchbox with our favorite cartoon on it.

I still have my Man From Uncle lunchbox from 6th grade!

15. Signing a pledge to never touch one drug with D.A.R.E.

This was the program that persuaded us at a young age to not ruin our lives and to stay in school!

16. Every year we took an annual hearing exam with these famous appliances:

Can you imagine using this with an iPhone today? I can only imagine the looks I’d get…

17. Every time you got a good grade you would receive one of those awesome scratch-and-sniff stickers on your assignment.

I can still smell the strawberry smell of the “Berry Good” sticker… Oh, the smell of satisfaction…

18. The joys (and struggles) of watching film strips on one of these:

Whenever the teacher put up a film on one of these, this meant that it would soon be naptime for most of us.

19. The amount of sheer excitement that built up inside whenever your teacher handed out those Scholastic and Troll book order forms.

The funny part is, we were never looking at the books- we were too occupied with the toys on the back of the catalog.

20. Getting home at the end of a long school day.

Shoes off, get a snack and rush upstairs to your bedroom to listen to the newest Metallica record. Did we miss anything? Tell us in the comments section below. And enjoy our video about the IDEAL SUMMER DAY in the 1970’s:
