Re: School uniform
And the response to calling the register @ KEHS ... Present, Yes, No
ie: I am here and not late, I have changed form my outdoor shoes to my indoor shoes and I have not been given a blackmark for talking in the library.

I know, I'm not very tolerant, am I? You just have to pity my own children!Maybe you teach my children KS10. They do have tissues in their pockets, but I'm not sure what they get used for so you probably think they don't. Oh dear. How do you all bring up perfect children?

Re: School uniform
DS had indoor trainers, rugby boots, outdoor trainers, astroturfs, wellies and school shoes bought for him this term!
Re: School uniform
Same here, but football boots instead of rugby boots!

Re: School uniform
Hermanmunster your post really made me laugh, did everyone have to answer in triplicate every morning? Black marks for talking in the library, those were the days...

Indeed they did - though stopped not long after I started there... present.yes.no ... relied on total honesty!
edit : just found these lovely reminiscences of a 94 year old:
Margaret was a pupil at New Street and recalls the narrow
tall building with “Twist” in his office. On entry to school she
walked downstairs to “undercover” where shoes were
changed and then climbed up all the flights of the stairs to
gather with the form mistress to register “Present”, “Yes”
and “No” She had to say a verse of scripture to the form
mistress, you were picked out so could not rely on others
knowing it. Miss Rattey harangued naughty girls by saying
“The laughter of fools is like the crackling of thorns under a
pot”. Ecclesiastes 7 verse 6
