    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[J.F. Parker talks about his experience as a teacher with the mountain people living in Old Fort. Although he had never finished high school, he got a job as a teacher. He said: &quot;He was going to send me on to teach school whether I knew anything or not.&quot; He talks about the hardships living up there, how school attendance was often very low and the kids brought snakes to the schoolhouse. He says the mountain people were a different breed of folk and they understood that &quot;it takes a certain amount of failure in life to make a person what they should be.&quot; They were hardened, but strong and firm. ]]></dcterms:description>
