Spanish kids

I've noticed that children, especially little girls, are dressed in a way they might've been 50 years ago. Which, I have to say, looks quite gorgeous to my eyes. But at the same time is somewhat troubling, along with the knowledge of that a fair number of them will end up in Catholic schools... well, I haven't heard a lot of good things about Catholic schools around here, and from the way they look my guess is their parents are rather traditional-minded as well. I suspect these kids are being molded into not being progressive from the start. After a good number of years under sadistic nuns, no wonder that as soon as they become of age, Spanish youth spend the vast majority of their spare time going to parties and pubs where they try their hardest to drink and smoke themselves into premature death. Either that or they become good little church boys and girls who walk, eat and breathe the way the Pope tells them to.

So if one is raised in a 2000-year-old tradition of great intellectual and mystical depth, the only possible reactions are blind conformity and desperate rebellion?

From what I've heard from people around here - those nuns in those schools really are sadistic.

That would really be too bad. Let's hope the pupils will be able to forgive them and look beyond those individuals who are betraying their vocation.
