Throwback Thursday: Road code

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Pupils of Linwood Avenue School learn how to cross the road safely, without leaving the
playground. This is education 1959-style.

By the 1950s, teachers are beginning to embrace "real experience", in preference to reciting sets of rules, as a foundation for meaningful learning. With boards placed strategically on the ground to mark street kerbs, and striped mats denoting pedestrian crossings, the school courts have been converted into a city intersection for simulated traffic activities. The traffic officer at centre appears satisfied with the hand signals of the cyclist and the driver of pedal car 6.
