What were classrooms like in the 1950-60s elementary schools?

Wanna hear from people who were actually in one.

I remember saying the Lord's Prayer (public school)
and the Pledge of Allegience.

I also remember doing the nuclear bomb drills ("duck and cover")

we didn't talk in class

we could be paddled but mainly had to write sentences or stand in the hall.

it was a lot simpler time

nobody carried a gun to school
sometimes we carried pocket knives - but didn't use them on other people
