Class photos from Sabaudin Gabrani, my grade school. Consider the cost per pupil here, versus the $24,600/year spent on each Washington D.C. public-school student. I’m sure my school got through an entire school-year on less than a tenth of the yearly budget for one D.C. student.
Second grade (first row, left desk, red jacket).
Third grade (front row, middle desk, checkered jacket)
Fifth grade (second row, middle desk, looking away from camera).
Fifth grade and already staring off into space! Envisioning a future with skyscrapers and yellow taxis?
Ha, I swear I didn’t see the skyscrapers and yellow cabs coming! I looked like such a boy, eh?
You looked cute as a kid!
What! I looked like a boy!
But not at all!
These photos definitely have a charm and innocence to them, something that $24,600 per year can’t really buy.
