    Share Share Post
    There were no schools in Ireland long ago only hedge schools. Some teachers went to the houses to teach the peopl eat night. They taught in barns and any old houses they could get.
    A big number of people attended the hedge schools, my grandfather attended one. Trooperstown school was one of the first schools built in Ireland, it was built in the year 1837.
    There was a hedge school under a big tree near where the school is built
