Oldest Wooden School House in the USA, The, St Augustine

My 9-year-old daughter enjoyed the class trip tremendously. However, when she got home and showed me the yellow handout that is signed by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior, I was horrified at the spelling and punctuation on the back under the heading, "The Purpose of School"! Their word "tenements" should be "tenets". Their word "arrhythmic" should be "arithmetic". They did not put an apostrophe in the word "students" to show possession. What kind of an example is this for the fourth grade who has to take their FCAT Writing in March?

It was fun to see how students went to school back in the day.

I loved walking through the charming old school & seeing how our grandparents might have went to school. Enjoyed watching watching the teacher talk to the children & seeing how the boys & girls were dressed. Sorry we didn't get to go upstairs. The gardens were nice & I enjoyed the music that was playing as we walked around & i thought the outhouse was neat! It was a fun place to visit!

It is a very interesting place which is very neat to see, i recommend it, really relaxing inside

Interesting to see how the children went to school then. Very quick visit, but that was expected, knowing that the schools were very small then. Fun for the kids to see and learn about. We just wish the top floor was open when we were there.
