1. Does "teachers college" in the states educate future teachers for elementary schools or middle-to-high schools? In Korea, teachers universities, independent from other universities, are for bringing up elementary school teachers, while there's a teachers' college - I don't know what to call it in English, the Korean term is diffferent - that belongs to a university and it educates future middle-to-high school teachers. I don't know if this system came from the states.
2. What does this "chrome" imply here? Just a metal?
go2-14p)Everyone knows a school bus when they see one ― mainly by its color. That particular yellow has been the official school bus color for quite a long time. It dates back to 1939, when a professor named Frank W. Cry, of Teachers College in New York City, organized a conference. His mission was to establish national safety standards for school buses. At that time, children were being transported to school in all sorts of vehicles, including trucks and horse-drawn wagons. Cry's conference attracted transportation specialists from all across the country. Specialists from some paint companies came as well. After a week of discussion, the participants agreed on standards for bus construction and safety ― and also for color. They determined that a particular shade of yellow-orange with black letters was the most visible combination in the early morning and late afternoon hours. They named that yellow color National School Bus Chrome.
