The story · 1987

The story of Teacher Stamp Hunting

Every teacher had a secret drawer of rubber stamps, and kids learned exactly which work earned which design. The smiley sun was common. The roller-skating dinosaur was legendary. Students kept old worksheets in binders just to show off their collections, and new kids were quizzed on their old school's stamps.

Fun fact

One teacher had a stamp of a winking astronaut that she used only once a year, and nobody ever saw it twice.
