Young boys trying so hard to make it to the end of the school day, 1956
The two kids on the left are doing their damnedest to not look at that clock for the millionth time; the kid on the right has just succumbed… And it’s not even 11:30.
“Le Cadran Scolaire” by Robert Doisneau, 1956…
* * * * *
the kid in the middle looks like the macaulay culkin from home alone
i dont think he can see the face from that angle
They are French kids – they are waiting for lunch time, not the end of the day!
As Rachel said, French elementary students have (or had) lunch from 11:30 to 1:30, so they are not far from (temporary) freedom!
maybe they were acting goofy and bashful because someone was taking a picture
LOL! I was thinking to myself, that one’s GOT to be by Doisneau… :-) <3
Freedom – and lunch! No pink slime in French schools…
Maybe not back then, but today McDonalds is extremely popular in France (to the chagrin of many other Frenchmen).
Secondly, I’m getting tired of people bashing “pink slime”. I think I’m gonna go have some chicken nuggets for lunch today. Maybe follow it up with a nice bologna sandwich and some soda.
