School back then

My Grandad George didn’t go to school, he was homeschooled because they lived on a big farm miles away. It would have taken a day to reach school, he lived in a very isolated area. His dad died when he was three years old. When he started at College he rode a horse to School. My Nana Pam also rode a horse to school. There was a big paddock beside school and the kids would put their horses in there for the day. One year there was a Polio outbreak, which is a disease, and many children didn’t go to school for months.
