Another wore small lacy short pants that provided no coverage of the lower part of her buttocks. Her shorts looked more like lingerie than outerwear. The students in many so-called Third World nations are proud to wear their school uniforms; in Canada, however, students seem to want to "celebrate" trashiness and mediocrity.
