[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 233679, member: 1991"] Back when I was in primary school (I was in this school from K-2, but it went to grade 6) we all had to line up each morning and show our fingernails. They had to be clean, our hands had to be clean, our shoes had to be polished. Our uniforms had to be in good order, our hair (if long) tied back with school hair ribbons to match the school uniform. F+Duringthe day at school we had to wear a special school uniform pinafore (pilly) over the uniform. The pinny had to stay at school but we had to take it home on Friday (or if deemed soiled, earlier in the week) and always have a clean spare at school. Anyone not considered clean or tidy, lost house points or worse, got a note sent home. Or detention. In high school, we had to wear hats and gloves to and from school. In summer we wore a straw hat, in winter it was a felt hat. If we weren't wearing hats and gloves, or if our regulation short blue socks were not folded down, we got into trouble (usually detention). When difficult child 1 was in high school and just after he broke up with his first girlfriend, he was a shocker when it came to personal hygeine. I got notes home as well as phone calls home, saying that he needed to look after his apperance better. It can get ridiculous. Marg [/QUOTE]
