nicky Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 At my prep school in the 80s the Head preferred us to have our hair cut at the back ie not shaved up. He also wanted us to have "hard" cases and not bags for our books. We also had to raise our caps to drivers who let us pass on the zebra-crossing and all traces of ink had to be washed from our habds before lunch. At my Irish Catholic school we weren't allowed back-packs or rucksacs (nor girls for that matter which as a result didn't exactly help me later in my teenage yrs) And of course the length of your hair was always an issue, though not for 6th form girls.

That's a funny one about the shoes, I might try that one and polish my shoes for the party... The other one I can understand though for a Catholic school as its part of the religion.

Jola Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I can't remember any of my school rules (mind you it was a few years ago now ) I think one of them might have been to cover books with crappy paper to help protect the covers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moony Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 "Good morning Ms , Good morning friends" I had that at primary school as well as having to walk on the left side of the hallway. Secondary school Knee length skirt, no longer no shorter except for PE where we had the smallest skirts possible with a teacher that kept trying to look up them, of course we weren't supposed to have shorts underneath but we did anyway. White socks only, unless wearing black tights. Tights weren't allowed to have patterns on. Black flat shoes only, trainers were only for PE. No jewellery unless simple plain studs in your ears, then you were only allowed one per ear. Can't think of anything else at the moment, pretty hard to remember because I never followed any of the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggsy Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 well they went and changed our lessons to blocks of 2,2 and half hour lessons a day.And if you have free lesson you have to goto the study room,your not meant to sit in the common room.Your not allowed out of the building apart from at lunch time. No sticking stuff on the boards sodexoff have provided for the school incase they get messed up and then the school gets fined Not really supposed to have jewelery etc..our new headmaster is a twit.. Oh yeah were not allowed into the school in the morning till the bell even when its raining and there's no shelter so you get to stand there for half an hour when its peeing down...

porkfat Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 We weren't allowed to walk on the grassy areas of the school grounds... which was a massive challenge considering how the school was built on an old farm. Probably the reason why I learned to levitate so gracefully. Hymn books were supposed to be kept in mint condition, and were checked daily. We used to draw enormous willies on the hymn books of the kids we hated. Those were the days, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
