"The curriculum at the school differs from traditional U.S. approaches in several ways, said the school's headmaster, David Morse. There will be far greater emphasis on world history and geography."

However, you would be right in saying there is no school bus on a Saturday (smart arse!)

I've had many a discussion about school uniforms since living in the states. It's something I feel quite strongly about (wearing them that is), maybe not for little kids but teenagers should be wearing them IMO.

Ahh, now I've re-read Elaine's post I see that she wrote 'yesterday' was the first day of school.
