There are several correct options here:
- the schoolhouse is one room
- all children grades 1 through 8 study together
- many of the children must help with seasonal farm work
In rural areas, these things happen quite often. Usually, there is no particular building allocated for a school, which is why often 'the school' is just a single small room where all kids go to study together. Given that there aren't many children in such rural areas, all of them are cramped into one single room which serves as school where all of them, regardless of their age, are taught together. Finally, they usually have to do very difficult manual labor to help their family out, which is why they don't have much time to study and dedicate to do their homework.
very concerned about appearance
The excerpt describes the grandmother's appearance. She is described as having white gloves, a navy blue dress trimmed with lace, and a sailor hat with a bunch of violets. She is compared to the mother to show that her way of dressing is different than what is required of her visit because the mother is dressed in slacks and has her hair up in a kerchief. It goes on to say that the grandmother would be easily identified as a lady if she was found on the side of the road. This label of being a lady seems to be important and only communicated through appearance.
