I searched on Google Books for coveralls and "one-room". Some interesting plots. Inside the book later also search for overalls.
Gail Jenner: One Room: Page 58 Dress Code. A girl in the 1920s hated dresses and usually had a dress under her overalls. At school she had to remove her overalls. The girl said that she can't because she has no dress underneath as a dress "jammed" in overalls are messed after riding to school on horse. Dress code changed by teacher.
Montell: Tales from Kentucky One-Room School Teachers: 2x spanking, I think by female teacher. Page 121: The boy had on new overalls and almost blistered the teacher's hand. Page 142: 8th grader Earl first brought a log instead of a switch then a switch and the teacher made him pull up his overalls and switched him well. (But he continued making trouble).
Duncan: The Fields of Yesterday: A boy peed in his bibs while sitting in school. But it didn't show up as the bibs were dark.
Comer: Life Through the Seasons: A 5 yo boy wearing striped bibs got lots of comments about his coveralls and about being able to go to school.
