Until recent years here, for instance the estate infant/junior school was used as a polling station for the taking of votes.
Your school may taught something about the history of voting in the UK (or wherever you live), they way it is done and why exercising your vote matters.
In doing so they may of held various elections, perhaps a students council or for form representatives to certain activities or even a mock general election when people would stand as political candidates, producing a manifesto, making a rosette, writing and delivering a speech.
My school did that and I stood and won!
It missed the sudden announcement Wednesday but just maybe the Election might be referenced in an upcoming edition?
that Pip kid's manifesto shows no inkling that terrible hurt by uniforms from getting one that was not shorts exists. All the standard formulas for believing in uniforms cause to exist the abuse experience of the Glamorgan private school always requiring longs from the age 8 junior year up, th experience your Regressors community would be stuck for any response to without continuing the hurt it did.
ReplyDeleteTo any guy with sensory issues, the concept of pride in appearance from that school is utterly utterly evil. Much as Pip's actual intended uniform would have brought me bliss, he is founding it on the system that brought me torture. His line on consistency between the genders takes away how school trans, to spend my schooldays as a girl, would have been a way out if it had existed then.
Make him try to imagine, which he can't, what it's like to remember being in that school through the 1979 election. When James Callaghan was a Cardiff MP. When I a boy aged 10 in the Prime Minister's city had no idea that year round shorts school uniforms existed, including never told so by the news media. When my mother wrongly believed they no longer existed since the 50s with the breeches era's end and had never been about much bareness ! When I had tried the previous autumn to become year round at home and South Wales nasal catarrh defeated me because I did not know I could ignore it. When all the boys and families experiencing year round shorts uniforms in most of the rest of Britain had no idea that boyhood was like that in the region where a Prime Minister who called a "great debate on education" had his seat. !
