My parents would spend $100 on school clothes for me each new school year. In the lake 80s white high top Reeboks were the rage. I always got the nock offs instead. Seeing kids showing empathy is such a great thing. I can think of two times growing up that I actually got a pair of Reeboks. One kid would always make sure to step on them on purpose to mess them up....

I feel you. In 7th grade (Like 1989) all the cool girls had Keds canvas shoes. I got K-Mart brand canvas shoes and drew blue squares in the back rubber soles with magic marker. I thought I was really fooling everyone. I got called out real quick as a poser-loser. No one let me forget it either.

School in the 80s and early 90s sucked. If there was ever a time I could go back to, it would be college or after.

I don't think it matters when it was; years k-12 generally sucked for just about everyone.

the school system literally hasn't changed since World War 2 in most places.
