We Don't Need No Education!

• I would say that about 90% of Spanish children wear a uniform to school. 
• They look really adorable, and yet it's also disconcerting.
• Until I remind myself of the Catholic history of this country's school system and then it makes much more sense.
• I'm living in a country where there is little difference between public and parochial schools. 
• There are no school buses.
• Parents walk their children to school until they are old enough to walk it alone.
• It's really cute to watch this family time occur. 
• Given the times that I see children walking to school and leaving, I would say that school starts every day between 9 and 9:30 and lets out somewhere between 2:30 and 3:30.
• Does that seem like a short school day to you? It does to me.
• In contrast, I have school four days a week.
• Does that seem like a short school week to you? It doesn't to me.
