"Blue-sky classroom at Nobori-machi National School. April 1946.
The school was burned out by the bombing, so spare rooms at Hiroshima Central Broadcasting Station and other facilities nearby were used. Still, classes resumed at first in "blue-sky classrooms" set up in the ruins of the school. The teacher to the far right, who has short hair and appears to be male, is actually a woman. Exposed to radiation, her hair fell out completely. At the time of this photo, it was just beginning to grow back."

Imagine modern teachers being told they had to be exposed to radiation, go bald, and still going in to teach.
