1980s School Things You Haven't Seen in Decades

If you grew up in 1980s America, these are the little school things you have not thought about in decades. Covering your textbooks with a brown paper grocery bag. The sting of a red rubber dodgeball. That metal locker door you opened a dozen times a day. None of it seemed special back then. It was just an ordinary school day. But somewhere along the way the pencil sharpeners came off the walls, the filmstrip projectors went into storage, and the chalk dust settled for good. These are the memories that take you back to the good old days, when the biggest decision of your week was which book to circle in the Scholastic order form. Grab a seat, and let's go back to school one more time. 00:00 Intro 00:26 TV on a Rolling Cart 00:54 Red Rubber Dodgeballs 01:26 School Lunch & Pizza Day 02:01 Rope Climb & Peg Board 02:33 Pencil Sharpeners 03:07 Brown Paper Book Covers 03:38 Old Textbooks & Library Cards 04:09 Ditto Sheets 04:45 Passing Notes 05:20 School Lockers 05:55 Metal Lunchboxes 06:29 Scholastic Book Orders 07:01 Chalkboards & Erasers 07:31 Trapper Keeper 08:15 Overhead & Filmstrip Projectors 08:45 Presidential Physical Fitness Test 09:17 Final Thoughts What do you remember most from your school days?
