No, we don't stand up and salute any flags saying the Pledge of Allegiance or singing
Advance Australia Fair before beginning our school work. We don't have designated times for specific subjects or breaks either. Come to think of it, not much we do resembles a formal educational institution, but when I saw this at a neighbor's garage sale for a bargain price, I could not pass it up. The fact that it came from a local state school that recently celebrated its centenary makes it not only a true antique but a pretty cool souvenir.
Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.

What a fabulous find!
Not even one teeny tiny chorus of "Waltzing Matilda" to get the blood pumping?!
Erm, any plans to bring it Stateside?
It's definitely coming back with us. The whole frame can be broken down and packed nearly flat (in case Jorge is reading this and wondering.)
Now to locate an inkwell.
Waltzing Matilda does get the blood pumping, doesn't it, Fe?
I love your new desk.
Is it called a desk?
