This reminds me a lot of my school days. Not pretty, naturally, I can tell you. Each school house had a different colour tie. I wasn't entirely keen on the uniforms. Yellow, back then, wasn't my thing. I liked the green one that pupils in one of the other houses got to wear. It is what it is.

Your drabble resonates with me on a personal level. it is exceptionally well-written. The pictured classroom is before my time but still, noting the layout, it is familiar.
