Chapter: Getting dressed for the big school.
State: Uniform
Explain: In this chapter, Roald Dahl got sent off to a British public school Repton. In this, he has to buy a uniform which he doesn't like. On the day of school, he has to get into his uniform and he finds it hard with the fancy collars and things that he doesn't like. It takes him a while but eventually he gets it and hops on the train to school.
Examples:
butterfly collar, braces, waistcoat, tailcoat.
Example of Britain public school uniform:
Why do Christchurch NZ schools value school uniforms?
I think that NZ/Christchurch schools use uniforms because it's culturally accepted because everyone would feel a part of the group. This means that everyone would be together and it also goes with the Maori concepts of the Whanua all sticking together.
They also have their uniforms for reasons such as everyone looking tidy and so people cant be bullied by their clothes.
Good work explaining your thoughts about school uniform.
