I was about to say the same, Andy!

At least they don't have to wear School Blazers like a lot of my school friends did (I went to a non-Blazer wearing school)!

No ties listed either... hmm.  I still have my school tie somewhere, still with my prefect badge on it. Wink

Thankfully I escaped the ties and blazers (I still despise ties, uncomfortable, fiddly bloody things).

Its also the first time I've ever seen a gumsheild needed at school.

health and safety, health and safety.........





In my day a sports injury was a badge of honour!

The third child wears a blazer to school........ often 'loses' them or rips them.....

I just spoke to my Mum... I don't know how she managed with five of us in shirts, ties and blazers.....

I was never made a prefect when I was at school.

Or even for puttingspaces betweenwords....Wink
 
BTW, it wasn't a "caste system" here in Canada -- just an old, effective method of maintaining more order in the school, and giving older kids some responsibility. Thumbs%20Up

I saw that after I posted, but my short attention span forbade me from fixing it. I know it wasn't a caste system, just having fun. I only wish I could rant half as well as the all time king of the rant, Bill Hicks. RIP Bill Cry

well I was also deputy head girl........ not such a great height of royalty as you though Peter...I bow to your superiority!

The prefect system ensures and encourages the understanding of hirearchy required for the work place, and obviously helps systemise bullying in school. Perfect system really

My school days were hell...... there are some names even now if I hear them bring me out in a cold sweat of panic......
