Teachers Rolled In The TVs
Sometimes when teachers needed a break from lecturing, they would roll the TV stand in front of the desks and pop in a VHS tape. While the teachers hoped you would sit quietly and take notes, mostly it was a time to nap or pass notes to friends. Some teachers would include more video than others, so you were lucky when you discovered your teacher was one who relied on tapes to do the talking. It’s unclear how many classrooms had a TV in the ’90s, but it was far fewer than today.
