When I graduated from high school, Sam Short (grandma’s brother) said to me, “You don’t know a damn thing. I went through all 6 McGuffey’s readers!” Even then, I associate them with museums. The homeschooling crowd is still using them.
I dedicate this to 2 scholars who just graduated from high school: Ethan, my grandson, and Summer, a friend’s daughter. (word has it that they did not use McGuffey’s) Sam in the middle:
