Featured review
Laura's Ingalls Wilder's Turning Point!!
The opening part of "Goodbye, Mrs. Wilder" had Mrs. Wilder and the class learning about New York City. None of the students were paying attention to the subject in hand. Willie Oleson -- in obvious disrespect -- annoyed the class. She made him stand in the corner for his shenanigans. Mrs. Oleson and Mr. Stohler -- without warning -- observed Mrs. Wilder while she was having a discussion with the class on the larger United States cities.
Almanzo Wilder arrived at home. Laura told him not to slam the front door. She had a frustrating day at school; Almanzo had no idea that she was heading back to school on account of Mrs. Oleson calling an emergency meeting. She had something up her sleeve: the inclusion of the dress code and the inclusion of art appreciation and French ... all in an attempt to successfully win the grant from the Board of Education. Mr. Oleson abstained from casting a "yea" vote on approving the measures. Mrs. Wilder abruptly resigned from her teaching job.
Mrs. Oleson would assume control of the class. Everyone followed a dress code during her reign as teacher. Girls wore blue dresses and white stockings; boys wore white shirts, bow ties, black shoes, and black stockings. Albert Ingalls balked at the notion of obeying the dress code ... especially at the issue of black stockings. Mrs. Oleson told him that he would need to follow the rules just like everyone else. Ralph Parker enrolled in class the same morning. Ralph Parker's father told him not to give any mouth about the dress code ... or he would get a fist to his mouth.
Mrs. Oleson then started to delve on art appreciation; the students had no idea they were being shown nudes in class. Ralph Parker's father had it out with Mrs. Oleson. He was embarrassed about her amoral conduct. He told her that no more "dirty pictures" would be shown in class; or he would call in the law for the amoral behavior on her part.
Laura Ingalls Wilder had one thing in mind: making her garden turn out to be successful. She knew that the task in hand would not be as pleasant as her teaching school. Her frustrations grew bigger and bigger as each day passed by with the likes of Mrs. Oleson running the class. In due time, she would receive a visit from Albert Ingalls.
Mrs. Oleson would continue teaching school. Everyone had been counting from one to ten in French. She was not impressed with the students' efforts. Mrs. Oleson had Albert Ingalls say one, two, three in French. Albert Ingalls struggled mightily with the French pronunciation of saying a word or a phrase in that language. In the end, the students made a sham of Mrs. Oleson and her teaching duties. Mrs. Wilder had told them to straighten themselves and the room immediately. Mr. Stohler observed Mrs. Oleson's instructional sessions in school -- with the students answering questions in French. He recommended the grant to the town of Walnut Grove. The students abolished the dress code; and Mrs. Wilder returned to her teaching duties. They learned a new subject: Agriculture. Ralph Parker stood in the corner for pulling Willie Oleson's hair in the presence of Mrs. Wilder. A Sensational 10 From The 1980-1981 Television Season!! Hilarious And Genuine!!
