Education in Rural Vermont

Yes, well, it would seem that Cooleys in one way or another get involved in education. Grandpa taught at the Aggie School, now Vermont Tech. Idora taught and went on to the Vermont Dept. of Education, Ruth taught for her career, and Charles taught high school and finished teaching at Vermont Tech. John worked for the Forest Service, and Marion was a lawyer, perhaps not as formally didactic but not without a component of education.

So how did all this start? What was school like in Randolph Center? What did Grandpa do to balance farming and working at the Ag. School? How do you do homework without a computer?
