quicko: school uniforms

School uniforms are a bit of a hot topic in debate classes, and I daresay reality, from time to time, but growing up I certainly never wore one. It was only those snobby Catholic schools that did, right?

Here they're normal. Every kid wears one. And it's adorable to see the little boys hopping on the buses in their straw hats -- yes, straw hats -- and blue check shirts. Or maybe plain blue ones. Or maybe white ones, depending on the school. They're all matching, though, if they go to the same place.

The poor girls look terrible in them, though. They have to wear these uniforms fairly high up in the academic ranks, and none of the girls look good in them. At least they suffer together. Bless.
