We should all play and never forget
This reminded me of a conversation I had with my brother years ago regarding Sesame Street. He thought it was silly and didn't really see any value in it. Then I explained to him that's how little children learn. They learn through play.
The readings remind me of my 7th grade English class. Our teacher would read to us when time allowed. As a whole, our class would enjoy it. Thanks for bringing back memories of my jr high school days.
This book keeps getting better ! So many twists, turns and spits 😂i love reading everyone’s comments and recollections. God’s blessings to all. Thank you again Tipper!
Great reading thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for reading this book. I thank God for His great mercy in delivering me from so many addictions. One thing I've learned is that one probably won't appreciate this until they are ready!
The young woman who was spitting brown tobacco juice against the white school wall might be a frustrated artist!! Those are the good teachers who really study their pupil's strengths and weaknesses and bring out the best in them. i had such a teacher a long time ago, a music teacher who taught me the violin when my parents were divorcing. He saved my young life.
Jesse is one of my favorite authors. Thanks for reading this one. I am loving it for sure.
Such a good story about the old school ways. Thank you for choosing this book.
I love this book and all the neat stories it holds , thank you very much .
Thank you.
An excellent book!! Thank you for introducing this writer to us. I really enjoy listening as you read.
Your accompaniment was that beautiful bird song. I love your reading Tipper.
Thanks Tipper. I really enjoy this time in my Fridays.
Good reading ❤
I loved it! As a teacher looking at my 27th year in the fall, I just really enjoyed listening to his solutions to problems that don't seem too far removed from skirmishes we have today.🧡
The girl who spit tobacco juice was a reflection of her Daddy's disrespect for the teacher.
Love every new reading more than the last. A wonderful book . He's a great teacher. Enjoyed thanks Tipper
I'm against consolidation, too. For many reasons!
Me too!
This is a revealing character story-book. Each video reading becomes a favorite !👏👏👏👏Thanks to Tipper !!!
Thank you Tipper! I love when you read us these wonderful books!! I feel like I'm right there watching the story unfold and I even comment right out loud sometimes.
You are so welcome!
Good story it was hard on the teacher and the students back then hope things get better for both later in the book hope everyone is doing well God bless you all
My first 4 years of school were in a two-room schoolhouse. One teacher taught grades 1 - 4 and the other taught grades 5 - 8. The teacher gave us lessons to do while she held "class" with each of the other grades. There was a community high school where students from 3 or 4 of these two-room schools were consolidated into larger classes for grades 9 - 12. State law only required education through 8th grade. How things have changed! Thanks for the reading!
Great reading, thank you Tipper.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another excellent visit. Thank you very much for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thanks Tipper have a good weekend stay safe.
So interesting all the different characters thank you Tipper God bless ❤
Captivating. Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Love you💖!
Thanks for the reading, very enjoyable. I am also opposed to consolidation, once a community loses it's school it seems to go down.
I graduated high school in 1971. We had a smoking area outside for the students. The attitude was that once you were in high school you were old enough to take responsibility for yourself and decide whether or not to smoke. I grew up on a farm and learned very young to work hard and take responsibility.
Glad you enjoyed it Ron 😊
How I enjoy your reading this book so much. Your expressive voice adds to the interest. I sure would have liked to have been a student at a school like that and maybe even tried teaching at one....
Thank you 😊
Such an interesting story! We love hearing you read👍
Thank you 🤗
Thank you they went through so much back then
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I didn’t want you to stop reading can’t wait to hear more.Tipper, I agree with you on consolidating the small schools. I hope that never happens the community’s and the children benefit from the smaller school. That’s my two cents worth.
This was amazing I enjoyed it
Every week it gets better and better. I like how he came up with the idea of playing to teach them. We can't wait till next Friday to see what happens. Great story ❤
This is a good book! Thanks for the reading. Have a great weekend. TeresaSue
I went to school in rural Oregon in the 70's. A bunch of us started chewing in 7th grade and would meet by the bleachers at lunch and chewed. All the teachers knew and one day our Biology teacher walked by and got a pinch from us. He still had in going the next period in class.
I agree with local control. I do not like how when you go to college, you have to travel so far and go through so much traffic, and there are so many people.
Tipper thank you for reading this good book.i feel sorry for the teacher . Hes a really good teacher and cares about the children learning. I feel bad he has to live in thar house I sure hope it gets better for him.take care Tipper You look a little tired.patsy I hope Granny is improving in her health everyday ❤❤
Thank you Patsy 😊
School is still a hot topic today.
Thank you Tipper.
Very interesting so far😮

My granny chewed Kentucky Twist since she was 6
We went fishing with the tobacco worms they are good fish bait
Hey Tipper. I like your reading. My grandmother always lined the lower cabinet with news papers, where the trash was, cus that's where my grandfather spit his tobacco while inside the house. Awe, fond memories. 🫢
😊 Glad you enjoyed it!
We called dragon flies snake doctor!
My oldest son Scott is Engineering Manager for Virginia Tech Electrical Service for the University and Town of Blacksburg. He studied Electrical Engineering at East Tennessee State, in Johnson City. While there, he took a life saving swimming class, and his instructor chewed tobacco. Skip Salmon Turkey Bottom Roanoke, VA
Thank you Skip 😊
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕👣👣🌄
When I was in college in the 1970s I picked tobacco that grew in the fields behind the university. I remember it being a dirty job. I smoked cigarettes back then but I never chewed tobacco. I knew other students who did and yeah, I saw the spit on the outside walls of the buildings. I quit smoking after I graduated. But this story reminded me of that time in my life.
❤
I was really surprised when it was a girl spitting tobacco...lol He really is on an adventure! Thanks Tipper 🙂👍
I was in second grade when they closed the last one room school house in my county that was 1962. Most of the old buildings have been demolished. The old timers are gone now.
I remember back in my younger years working in tobacco to earn a little spending money in the summertime in south Georgia where I grew up, those big old green leaves made your hands black and sticky, turned the soap yellow trying to wash it off, a dirty job, not counting those big fat tobacco worms that you’d pick off , sling to the ground or stomp on. Only time it smelled half way decent was when it was curing in the barn!
Have to say I was surprised when you read it was a girl who was doing the chewing and spitting! Nasty habit. My Grandaddy chewed it and sadly my Daddy smoked, which I believed may have caused his fatal heart attack in 1970 at the age of 68. Sorry, Tipper guess I was reminiscing on years gone by .
I’ve enjoyed every book you’ve read, hope you will continue to do so. Much Love to you and yours. 🙏❤️🙏
Another good reading. I liked how he figured out how to handle his beginners. Thank you Tipper.
Thanks again Tipper for the readings. Enjoying the book. 🙂 🙋
Glad you enjoy it!
I so agree with you. Schools are an important part of communities. We live in a time where we no longer have true communities. This is a topic that requires much more than a UA-cam comment can support. But I do not believe in school consolidation either. Even if I had no kids attending the school.
I know when i was in public schools their was only 18 students per class and the bigger the class the harder it is on teachers and students in my opinion and 🙏🙏 ' s for Granny. God bless All !
Amber may be the color but here in Kentucky tobacco juice is called "am-beer."
Thank you for sharing that! I am sure that’s what the author meant and how I should have said it 😊 I love language and different usages!
❤🎉
About tobacco at school:.
I moved my family to Cherokee in 1982 when I was hired to work in the National Park. My daughter started school on the reservation for Kindergarten. After first day, she came hone with a note. It said students must leave snuff and chewing tobacco at home. I was ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED! 😮😂😢
WHY were very young children using such items?
Mamm that's funny you say this, IHAD some Cusins whom were brothers and sisters, They all dipped snuff 😅,And always was getting in trouble, And back years ago ITHINK alot of kids grew up doing tobacco and snuff😊
Reading the comments I thought to myself, I had cousins who smoke me this cigarettes when they had a cold or sore throat. I guess they thought it would help. 🤷🏻♀️
I've long since quit, but chewed snuff for many years.. very satisfying but also really hard to quit, don't start 😖
I grew up in a tiny town. It was so small we just had school. K-12 all in 1 building, but we had enough kids to separate them by grade. Sure, some grades only had a handful of kids, but we could separate them. I can't imagine trying to teach 1-8 grade in the same room. 😮😮😮
I never used tobacco in any way, but I guess I can understand how this happens. Looks like I have missed some good chapters of this book. I will sure be looking for the next reading. I really enjoyed this, God bless .
Thank you for sharing this!
It brought back memories of my school days, in a lot of ways.
Vada would be shocked to see today's tobacco fields; with plants as short as four feet tall.
When I worked in the fields, the plants were nearly seven feet tall.
We had to go to each plant and break the tops off and pull out all the suckers.
It was hot, hard work but, those free all you can eat dinners the farmer's wives cooked every day made me not even notice the heat of south Georgia.
It's strange how the older I get, the less I can stay outside without getting bear caught.
Are you familiar with the term "bear caught"?
It's when you've gotten too hot and sweated so much you get sick and throw up and your head starts throbbing so hard you can hear your pulse.
I don't miss that part but, I still get bear caught if I'm outside between noon and about 4:00.
That's why I like to do my morning chores at day break and start on my inside chores when I feel the first drop of sweat run down my face.
Thank you, again, for sharing this book.
I recently subscribed because I really enjoy your content with Matt and family.
I hope you have a blessed weekend!
✌️💖🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱🙌🕊️
Thank you! So glad you enjoy what we do!! We appreciate you watching 😊 I've never heard of bear caught used in that manner-thank you for sharing that!
Hi there, in reading your comment I noticed you’re from South Georgia, so I’m I , in Cook County, I also worked in tobacco in those hot summers. And oh yes, those mid day meals surely hit the spot, along with cold ice tea , worth waiting for every day! May I ask where are you from? 🙂
I hadn't heard about the addiction of nicotine on the workers in the fields before. It makes sense tho . As far as spanking her understandable and if he didn't the other kids would think he didn't keep his word . Stuck between a rock and a hard places 😊
Interesting that nothing has changed about one or a few certain people running everything.
By the way that instructor at ETSU was female.
unfortunately today parents don't have enough control too much indoctrination as in the forward
Thank you.
Beautiful story ♥️
I love your Appalachian focused readings.
When I was little, I had to pick off worms. In tobacco higher than my head, in the hot summer sun, I'd get dizzy after a long row. When I'd come out of the patch, I'd be okay. I'd pick my sister's row, too, for a nickel.😊
I think we all probably like his descriptive writing. I had to do a paper one time on a book I really didn't like but was forced to read and I came up with the phrase word pictures for the title. Even though I didn't appreciate the subject matter I did like the descriptive writing of the author. In this case I do like both Jesse's content and his writing style and your reading style 🙂.
I read that book a long time ago. Jesse was still alive then, and I went to school with a cousin of his.
I love that the teacher knows it’s his responsibility to get the children engaged and that the students need to take care of the school with him. Oh Lord we need that spirit today. Tipper I do believe that’s the biggest Dragonfly I have ever come to witness. Dose everything grow so large out there? It makes me want to see the chickens 🐓 are they bigger than normal cause if they eat those Dragonflies they must have enormous beaks. Haha 😂 thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and yours.
