Belden, Nebraska
Whenever I see an abandoned school such as this, I cannot help but think of the millions of children around the world who cannot go to any school, or go to a school with no desks and a dirt floor. But we are affluent enough to just throw away resources.

Been meaning to take a photo for the "school" photo challenge on Licca-chan Land :3
I found this chalkboard and fan in a thrift store, I think I should go rummaging through thrift shops more often, haha. I have virtually no props for my dolls with me since relocating, so I'll definitely be on the hunt from now on :P
This Licca is my latest doll, she arrived a couple months ago. Love her hair color and braids. Out of all of my dolls, only about 3 of them have braided pigtails :P~
Dewey School, located on 6600 Dewey Rd. near Pound, Virginia was in operation from 1913 until 1969. It appears to be used as a community center now.
History
Hereford Cathedral School is among the oldest schools in the country. Although a song school may have been attached to the cathedral in Anglo-Saxon times, there is no evidence of the existence of a grammar school until a much later date.
However, it is probable that such a school was established at Hereford Cathedral in the 12th century, possibly as early as the 1130s. Certainly Bishop Gilbert’s letter of 26th December 1384 appointing Richard of Cornwall as headmaster – a letter which has traditionally been regarded as marking the School’s foundation – implies that a grammar school had been in existence for some time, but that it had lapsed through the failure of the then cathedral Chancellor to appoint a Headmaster ‘to the prejudice of Holy Scripture and grave injury to the scholars who desire instruction’.
Little is yet known about the School over the following centuries. Nevertheless, it is clear that during the Tudor and Stuart periods (1485-1714), it attracted generous patrons. It appears to have been rebuilt in the reign of Edward VI (1547-53); and it received considerable emoluments from Queen Elizabeth I in 1583. But its greatest benefactors came in the 17th century when Dean Langford, Roger Philpotts, a former Mayor of Hereford, and Sarah, dowager Duchess of Somerset, all gave sizeable bequests to the school for the foundation of scholarships. When Charles I granted new statutes to the Cathedral in 1637, the School’s endowment was also increased by the grant of a house and garden – on the site of the present School House and yard – in perpetuity for the Headmaster.
The School building in use around this time was described by one local historian as having been ‘a beautiful piece of architecture of very high antiquity’, but it had fallen into such a state of decay that it was rebuilt in the mid-18th century. By 1762 a new schoolroom 80 feet long and 40 feet broad, with windows overlooking the palace yard, had been completed to the south-west of the Cathedral on the site of the old building. This was also used as a music room for the Three Choirs festival and for other public meetings. It lasted some seventy years. Thereafter, work had to be carried on in the Headmaster’s house until the School was allowed to use rooms in the College of the Vicars Choral.
The modern history of the School may be said to begin with the building of class-rooms in 1875 on the site it now occupies, formerly the Canon’s Bakehouse, at the back of School House. The period from the late 19th to the early 21st century has seen a remarkable growth in pupil numbers – from under 100 boys to more than 800 boys and girls (from 3 to 18) and a corresponding increase in staff; an expansion in the number of sites from the one in School Yard to seven around the Close and in Castle Street; the adoption of co-education (in 1970); the integration of the Cathedral Preparatory School (now Hereford Cathedral Junior School, founded in 1898 and moved to its present site in 1925); and the development of purpose-built facilities (including most recently a new sports hall) and the School playing fields at Wyeside.
Hereford Cathedral School may have moved from its original site but it has always been in close proximity to the Cathedral, that great building of Hereford which is its chapel. And although we teach and learn in modern surroundings, we work today with a consciousness that nearly a thousand years of English history looks down upon us. Floreat Schola Herefordensis!

Street Photography in Yangon, Myanmar
School children coming out to see the western visitors, we brought them sweet snacks which were graciously received. It's sad to see the poverty but it was also a blessing to see how humble the Burmese people are.
School architecture of a certain age often has some lovely details, but photographing them can be fraught with danger in these times when using a camera in the vicinity excites suspicion and hostility.
Brierley Primary School in Crewe has an array of terracotta ornamentation on the buildings. In addition to the plaques over entrances for boys and girls, the gables have words of encouragement for the pupils. The boys side has 'Obey', 'Hope' and 'Duty', whilst on the girls side the mottos are 'Love', 'Neatness' and 'Order'.
Poonindie is a small township near Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. The land upon which it sits was originally the land of the Barngarla people.[7]
Poonindie Mission was established as a mission for Aboriginal people in South Australia in 1850, at the instigation of the first Archdeacon of Adelaide, Mathew Hale, who also served as superintendent for several years. St Matthew's church, built in 1854-55 and originally intended to be the school, served both the mission and the local community. It survives and remains in use today. Hale ran the Aboriginal Training Institution at the mission.[8] His friend, the Anglican Archbishop of Adelaide, Augustus Short, visited the mission, which prospered.
The mission closed after 44 years, after which the land was divided and sold, with just St Matthew's and a small area of land remaining the property of the Anglican Church. 300 acres (120 ha) of land was became an Aboriginal reserve when the Mission closed in 1894.[8] Most of the residents were moved to Point Pearce and Point McLeay missions, while others moved to the nearby Aboriginal reserve,[9] but a small number of residents remained on the mission site until the 1910s.[10]
The institution is named in the Bringing Them Home report, as one which housed Indigenous children forcibly removed from their parents and thus creating the Stolen Generations.[11]
The former reserve is now an Aboriginal self-managed Aboriginal community called Akenta, run by Akenta Incorporated.

With many schools coming to an end this week, thought this recent sunset photo was appropriate.
Happy Window Wednesday ... :)
"A big palazzo in stugged ashlar with rusticated basement and wide rusticated pilasters" (The Buildings of Scotland: Glasgow). Architect: Frank Burnet, 1886.
The Education (Scotland) Act of 1872 had made elementary education mandatory for all children. To fulfil this obligation, school boards were created and started to build schools better than the earlier voluntary schools.
