This was something I wrote a few years back which still holds true.
PE kit holds a fascination with me like having a 'proper' set to wear including things like this PE Polo neck t shirt with a school logo on it.
There is something I find most agreeable about having to wear a
pleated green PE skirt with matching gym knickers for games or exercise
having been to a co-ed boarding school as well as wearing that
combination since.
The freedom of movement over shorts, the sheer femininity whole preserving some modesty are overwhelming.
I find gym knickers very comfortable on me which is why I’m so happy to wear them

Learning past and present
One difference between the kind of education I had and that of many children today centres around how we were taught.
For most of my education for instance generally the teacher led the class learning determining what the days topic was in any given subject. They often would dictate notes or write them down on a chalk board for you to copy to your exercise book sometimes with drawings or diagrams too which was fun if you were not good at writing or spelling things as you'd struggle to keep up.
Sometimes we'd have school made duplicated work sheets for some subjects such as Combined Science to complete as we did experiments with bunsen burners, electricity and magnets.
In History we often read from and makes notes using set text books and all homework (and there was heaps of it!) was to be completed by hand.
This scene would be almost familiar to me in high school as we'd move from old style individual wooden desks to clusters of tables and plastic chairs except for one thing.
That's right, where the girl is sat we'd have our exercise book but she has a laptop which looking at this picture closely is something most of her peers do not suggesting she has 'special needs' and has been given one for 'writing up things' with.
That is something I'd of benefited from personally as my hand writing was poor and spelling pretty rotten too.
A number of schools today have huge screens, some interactive, for teaching with rather than chalkboards (they were called Blackboards until some edict came down saying that word was racist!) but debate rages as to whither or not this is any more effective from the chalkboard and rote learning we had.

St Trinian's
The out of control schoolgirl is best personified in the classic St. Trinian's series even if the last two installments take us away from the more innocent bad behaviour of the original series and the cartoon strip that inspired them.
This image from the most recent movie shows a more modern uniform than the original gymslips and stockings (for older girls) .
Joanne has it licked
After this weeks stormy winds that blow a big garden arch of mine over and loosened the tape that holds the tv antenna coax to the masting, it is finally sunny with bees buzzing about. Buzz, buzz, buzz!
But sunny warmer weather leads to wanting to do things very much what this blogs about and one of them happened yesterday. It was warm, much warmer than it was first thing in our town so skipping off the bus, I called into the newsstore to pick up a magazine when I had this strong urge to get a lollipop, the sort of lolipop that's very little .
These are Swizzlers Matlows Mega Double Lollies the sort with two flavours in one billed as being "the original long lasting" and my little just took over and picked up a Lime one from the candy rack in the store and paid for it.
Within minutes I was unwrapping it and skipping in the sidewalks licking it!
Instant regression.
You might recall my past a few weeks back with the image of the girl in her uniform reading while licking on her lollipop. Does Art imitate life or is is life imitating Art? All I know is for that moment I was back in time and it felt good.

My intentions are good
I am not by nature a girl given to being naughty. That's to say I don't deliberately set out to be mean to anyone, to look for a argument or physical hurt them in the way in which some people do. I try to understand the differences between how I may feel about something and you might plus I will hold my hand up if I have done something wrong.
This isn't the same as saying I may of done wrong because I can and do make errors of judgement some of which my require me to be punished in order to teach me not to repeat them again, it's simply that I never intend to.I just don't see stuff

Schoolgirl blouses
There's a tendency in Junior schools to replace blouses by t shirts over sweatshirts probably because it's easy to put on but a proper blouse just looks a good deal smarter on you which is what you're trying bring about - a respect for yourself and how you look.
The tie is the thing that grabbed my attention as my old Junior tie was red and off white diagonal striped and as hard as I found it to fasten, I looked good in it.
