With the recent news that it costs a whopping $402K to support a child until adulthood in San Francisco, it's no wonder that dogs tend to outnumber kids in this city. Regardless, we've got some pretty fine-looking schools—many of which just went back into session this week. As SF's littlest residents are packing up their backpacks and sleeping through class filling their brains with knowledge, we take a look back at some historic school buildings in San Francisco. This grab-bag of images is by no means comprehensive, so if there's one you'd like to see—or if you're feeling nostalgic for your alma mater—leave us a note in the comments.
