Imagine growing up in a literal baby boom. Schools were made to have 8-12 kids in a classroom, and suddenly because of the soldiers returning from the war it becomes 12-16 minimum in a class … in some city areas it went from 10 kids per classroom to 30-35 kids. This was the boomers WHOLE life. They were crowded and overpopulated … ALWAYS a challenge to be overcome because there were so many of them. “Go outside, go away, go play” became their parent’s mantra.
