She'll have us wearing Blazers next!

The staff are paranoid about what the new head has in store. However we have an advantage in that we at least get concrete information - most of the time at least - whereas the pupils rely on hearsay. My year tens were asking whether we were going to go back to shirts, ties and blazers. The way I put it to them was that it was the first I'd heard about it. Admittedly I do have a habit of glazing over during morning briefing but I'm sure I'd have picked up on something that big.
They were also asking if she's going to ban make-up. Which isn't a bad idea in my book, especially as most girls at our school haven't realised that it is possible to wear make-up without making yourself look like a whore.
It makes me wonder where these rumours come from. I guess it's all chinese whispers but I reckon there's fun to be had. I could 'accidentally' let slip that someone in the school wants to bring back the cane or send naughty children out round the running track in freezing cold weather as a punishment. Okay so I our headteacher is unlikely to suggest such things but I'm sure that there's some old-school teacher out there who would agree with those ideas so I wouldn't technically be lieing. If the pupils choose to think that means they'll be getting caned then that's up to them.
