I left secondary school 13 years ago so completely understand if times have changed.
Lately there have been a lot of programs on tv about education and following real schools and classes. One thing I have noticed in all of them are some things we would never have got away with. Skirts are knicker length; very obvious makeup (we were allowed none); shirts hanging out; high heeled shoes; ties so loose you could fit 6 necks through; ties so short the back end could be wrapped around the waist twice, the list goes on.
Now either they're focusing on very slack schools, things have changed a lot, my school was very strict or I'm a complete fuddy duddy.
Please tell me. I'm dreading my children moving up the secondary if this is what school is like now. Of course I know uniform is not anything but I do think it is a fairly good reflection on standards.
Or am I wrong again?
