Your memories stirred my own in this area, and I, too, dropped a couple of them as well.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19531357.post-15497471914292387522012-03-14T05:35:44.011-04:002012-03-14T05:35:44.011-04:00I had a couple of lunchboxes, but I went through t...I had a couple of lunchboxes, but I went through thermoses so quickly because I would drop them. Remember they were glass inside and if you dropped them, they'd break and be ruined. My mom would be so upset! <br /><br />I didn't have to wear a uniform to school, as I went to public school in Philadelphia. However, I attended parochial school for about a year and a half in my early years, and we had to wear uniforms then. It made choosing my school clothes much easier!<br /><br />I almost wish we WOULD have had to wear a uniform in public school. I was ridiculed because my family could not afford to buy me the popular fashions (I wore hand me downs and stuff that was on sale). It was tough on me to be an outcast because of the clothes I wore.Susan Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500332874463941099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19531357.post-55173247134475639222012-03-12T09:57:16.568-04:002012-03-12T09:57:16.568-04:00Hi Amy,

We could wear dresses of our choice, but no slacks or blue jeans unless it was really cold, and then you had to wear your corduroy pants under your dress. I hated that! I was a freshman in high school before the girls were allowed to wear long pants.Jane Rieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598983844438393426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19531357.post-91724983459919120162012-03-11T21:48:54.276-04:002012-03-11T21:48:54.276-04:00I have no lunch box memories as I went to school i...I have no lunch box memories as I went to school in Finland. All Finnish schools provide free meals to pupils, everyday. It's proper food, and there's usually a six-week menu, so there's plenty of variety and no junk food.<br /><br />When I was at school, they introduced free snacks as well - if your school day was long enough, you'd also get a free afternoon snack, which could be something like a sandwich, a yogurt, some fruit and/or a fruit juice (or such..) I don't know if they still do that, these days.Stellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981603232607622128noreply@blogger.com
