    As a 2006 kid who used to attend school in the UK, I can confirm to you:
    - we had coat rooms
    - we didn’t have our own desks
    - we had student grading
    - for sharpeners we brought our own tiny ones (I think there was one class we had a spool one I remember using)

    1986 born Canadian here.
    -THE pencil sharpener was standard issue. I hated that thing precisely because of how terrible it was at actually sharpening pencils. I was an early adopter of having my own sharpener/mechanical pencils for just this reason.
    -coat rooms existed, but were rare. Usually it was the kindergarten that had them. Rest of us just had some hooks in the room or in the hall where everyone could steal your stuff.
    -I was the undefeated messy desk champion. On more than one occasion the class' shortage of rulers or scissors was solved by me being ordered to straighten the damn thing out. I think I had something like 12 of them in there once.
    -We self graded pretty regularly. Sometimes full on assignments were graded by our classmates, which actually worked better than you'd think cuz you could generally appeal your grade so people didn't usually give you an F minus as a joke. So teachers still saved themselves alot of work cuz they only really had to bother with people who thought they deserved more.

      @carpecanem611 Year ago +4

      When I was a kid, ALL winter boots were black. We had to put our names on both boots. The idea was that at the end of the day each kid would put on his own boots. Either some kids were too dumb to understand this or they just couldn't read. So if you were last into the coat room you were lucky to get 2 boots that fit. Even if they were both for the left foot.

    In my personal experience:
    1. No, there are no coat rooms anymore. You got your cubbies till like the 5th grade then you gotta either use a locker like an overworked assembly line worker being paid quarter the minimum wage in Southeast Asia or you gotta carry your stuff around.
    2. You get your own desk in just about 85% of your classes. Oddly enough, I feel like you most commonly get tables and chairs in science classes.
    3. I had student graders in like the third grade, but I don’t think that happened a single time after the 5th grade.
    4. YES, “THE” PENCIL SHARPENER IS STILL AROUND AND IN USE. They’re probably the exact same ones you were using in school too, never replaced. Half of them absolutely never sharpen anything and are too old and dull but those last few troopers will give you the best, most pure sharpen of anything you’ve ever witnessed. Oh, if these blades could speak, they’d recite volumes. Also yeah, ITS SHARP ENOUGH AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT, GET BACK HERE AND FINISH YOUR ESSAY ON EISENHOWER’S FOREIGN POLICY.

    Scholastic books, the misery of indoor recess, the death risk of outdoor recess... I grew up in WI. So we had snow piles in the playground taller than the basketball rims. Our top game was king of the mountain... where you climbed up and tried to throw the kid on the top down to the concrete. But usually they'd give you a swift kick or push and you'd tumble down for another go... if you survived/didn't get injured.

    I gave them beds made of sticky notes, tvs made up of bits of last week's homework n sh!t. And I even gave the king eraser his own little throne.
    But seems like every month or so we had to do a big desk cleaning and the teacher would make sure I kill off my little rubber society every single time. But I always brought them back to life the next day.

    Heya, Substitute Teacher here. I work with EduStaff, and I go to a lot of schools around my area in several districts. I'll confirm the stuff in the video in case you're curious.
    1. Do we still use desks or is it all shared tables?
    It depends on the class and what kind of school it is. Usually, grade schoolers still have their own desks, but Middle and High School generally share a few big tables together. Also, even in the schools were kids have their own desks, we don't make them take the desk with them if they need a time out in the hallway--there's almost always a desk out there already.
    2. Do we have cubbies or do kids still hang their backpacks and coats on hooks?
    Most of the grade schools in my district have lockers for the kids, but for the most part it's basically cubbies now, and it's usually out in the open and not in a back room, so no Pokemon Card Trading in secret. Now you can just do it whenever because most new age teachers aren't jackasses that'll take your cards lol.
    3. Do we have kids grade each other's homework/classwork?
    No, I've been subbing for about 4 years and I've never had that come up. Usually it's the standard "display the answer key" or the teacher will go over it with them directly. For reference, I'm in Michigan (not too far from Ohio) and I've personally never seen this happen even when I was a kid.
    4. Do we still have wall sharpeners for pencils?
    They're mostly obsolete now, almost every classroom I've been to in recent years has an electric sharpener ready to go, but they are still around--just basically never used. I teach an art class sometimes and their wall sharpener is in the VERY corner of the classroom behind a bunch of bullshit lol.
    Side note: 4:28 Pencils still do this, even in the electric sharpeners. Idk how they haven't fixed this shit yet lmao.
    5. Does the Pizza Hut Book It campaign still exist?
    I've never even heard of it until now LOL. We have this campaign called "Jump Rope For Heart" that still goes on to this day to promote funding for solving heart related issues, usually cancer, which also awarded you prizes, but definitely not pizza lol.

    The fact brewstew has been uploading semi-consistently for over a decade is fascinating.
    Also i had those coatrooms, as someone that went to elementary school in the 2010s, however we didn't have any activities happen in the coatroom. We rarely went into it unless we were leaving.
    I also had cubbies, i basically had everything mentioned in this video, individual desks, group tables, a mix of those shitty noise machines and electric sharpeners, depending on the grade and teacher and classroom.

      My Pokemon book, that I bought from the scholastic book order was stolen in the coat room. Not technically, but the order came in on a Friday. I was excited to look at it after school. My teacher took it from my backpack when I was in another classroom watching our Friday movie. She said she made a mistake, and I only ordered two book. I know I ordered it, and my parents paid for it. I was so devastated. I should have had my parents argue it. They were out $9. Probably more like 20, because I would not have bought the other two books, if Pokemon wasn’t on the order form.

      @mfleming1201 I was going to say, no, yours is definitely worse. In all fairness though I had two siblings with their own game boys, and we had a lot of copies of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. My dad worked at a salvage yard, and he found constantly found Pokémon games in the cars people scrapped for some reason. So, I'd personally be fine to an extent if my gameboy and gen 1 Pokemon game was stolen. Then when the gameboy color came out, my dad found a lot of regular gameboys in cars as well. I think we had like 6 of them.

Though this wasnt like a heavy nostalgic video, just mentioning things like the coatroom brought back so many memories. Thanks

That was my family though, one time I went to a friends house and all hell broke loose. people were screaming, pushing eachother against the wall lmao it was like a mosh pit. nowadays when the power goes out everyone just sits still, looking at their phone like usual and saying stuff like "i hope my battery doesnt run out" lol. whenever the power goes out nowadays it always comes back really fast too. back in the day I swear power outages could last like 2 days. it was a fight for survival lol.

      When I went to grade school in the 1960s, I had a pencil sharpener that looked like a little car.That thing was the shit! I painted the wheels and tires and put little decals on it. I'm 66 now, and I fkn want one!

      it may just be because my public school is really old but I still have those old darn sharpeners in some of my classrooms and I hate them!!

      The pencil sharpener was for showing off your new outfit.

      You become an expert at sharpening your pencil with those. You pull it out halfway sharpened, one side is coming out more more shaved than the other, like having a stroke halfway through shaving your beaver. You learn to gauge it... "Hmmm... Looks like it needs 6 lbs of lateral present and another 720... No, make that 1080°."
