hello hello hi today we look at rules

and regulations things you are allowed

to do and things you are not allowed to

do we talk about schools and we visit

this place a secondary school in England

schools of course have lots of rules and

regulations at my school for example

boys had to wear white shirts you

weren't allowed to wear a shirt there

was any other color really at my school

they didn't let you go into the

classroom if the teacher wasn't there at

my school you were allowed to wear what

you liked and they let you go where you

liked - nowadays some things are

different but some things are the same

when I was at school you weren't allowed

to wear colored shirts you weren't

permitted - nowadays at some schools

you're allowed to wear anything you like

you're permitted - when I was at school

they didn't let you go into the

classroom if the teacher wasn't there

and it's still the same they don't let

you go into the classroom if the teacher

isn't there

what about your school whether any rules

that you didn't like I can't remember

liking any of them I disliked all of

them I didn't like having to wear short

trousers till I was 13 especially on

cold winter days where I grew up in the

Rio Grande Valley it was so hot that the

temperature never got below 60 degrees

and they wouldn't allow us to wear

shorts and I thought that was kind of

ridiculous it always irritated me that

only staff was supposed to walk through

the front entrance of the school so I

always walked through the front entrance

at the school and got in trouble for it

I was fortunate in that I went to a

school with no rules okay are you ready

no come on it's easy just do this now

you try start flapping your wings before

you take off shai try again oh I see

obviously you're not supposed to stop

flying when you're in the air you're

supposed to keep going what's very good

is she's all right if I do it again not

now let's wait until tomorrow

supposed to do and not supposed to do

you're not supposed to stop

you're not supposed to stop flying when

you're in the air you're supposed to

keep going you're supposed to keep going

in Britain there are some secondary

schools where pupils must pass an exam

to get in

they're called grammar schools Wycombe

high school is a grammar school for

girls to find out about the school will

hear from three people

the head teacher a teacher of Spanish

and first of all a pupil in the sixth

form who's 18 years old and in her final

year Wickham High School is a secondary

school it's for girls only and it's a

grammar school which means we have to

pass an exam before we can enter the

school the girls tend to sit an exam at

12 in their primary schools and

depending on the results of that exam we

take in about the top 30% of

intelligence levels there are only a

hundred and forty-five grammar schools

in the country out of the several

thousand secondary schools in the

country so it isn't typical of Secondary

Education in this country there are

about a thousand pupils there's a main

school and a sixth form which one

separately we go back to when we were

looking at anorexia what were the causes

we looked at we looked at several who

can just remember them stress okay virus

in the main school there is a uniform

pupils are supposed to wear a blue and

white striped shirt in the second and

third years they're supposed to wear a

navy jumper and in the fourth and fifth

years it's a burgundy jumper it's a

specially designed school jumper with

the school emblem on and they have to

wear a navy skirt at the moment they let

us wear any type of shoe as long as it's

black

and smart but when I first joined the

school they made us choose between five

different pairs of shoes and we had to

wear one of those

there are also regulations about what

they should wear in their hair they have

to wear a certain color of ribbon or

hair ornament and they are supposed to

keep their hair out of their eyes for

safety reasons in the 6th floor they let

us wear what we want to but it has to be

smart and we have to wear skirts but

we're allowed to wear jewelry at wickham

high school there are rules about what

you can wear girls are supposed to wear

blue and white striped shirts but they

can wear any kind of shoes as long as

they're black but when girls reach the

sixth form that's the last two years at

the school things change

they let us wear what we want to we're

allowed to wear jewelry but we have to

wear skirts we've heard about the rules

for what the pupils must wear the school

also has a lot of rules for how they

must behave what they're supposed to do

at lunchtime what they're allowed to do

in study periods how they should walk in

the school and how they must behave in

the classroom

pupils are supposed to stand up when a

teacher walks into the classroom and to

remain standing up until the teacher

tells them to sit down

what is he asked those then yes serious

balancing the Heder said put forward

that is the only rule that they must do

other than that of course follow what

the teacher is saying listen to

instructions no it is English Oh

americano it is English Oh americano

Catherine well yet wherever the girls

move inside the building there are

fairly narrow corridors and staircases

so girls must walk on the left at all

times they're not allowed to run in the

corridor at any time and they must be

very careful when they're climbing

stairs to keep to the left we have to

have quite strict rules also about

movement outside because we have quite a

few narrow walkways and so therefore

also there are areas where the girls are

only allowed to walk in one direction so

there is one way into a building and

another way out and they're not allowed

to turn around in the wrong direction

the main school I have to stay on site

during the lunch hour but the sixth-form

are allowed to go apps

school as long as they're back within

the hour

we're not allowed to go down to the

bottom of the field and there's another

area around the side of one of the

buildings where we're not supposed to go

either the perimeters of the school

field are actually out of view from the

main buildings and girls may not go

beyond an area where the ground dips

down in here out of sight this is for

their own safety as well as for us to

make sure that they're not breaking the

no-smoking room the rules about smoking

in the school are strict no girl is

permitted to smoke under any

circumstances either in school or on her

way to and from school in the sixth form

there are three areas in which we can

stay during study periods we can either

go to the library and that's a silent

area so we're not allowed to speak at

all

or we can go to the study room and we've

mitad to eat and to talk quietly in

there or we can stay in the common room

and we can do anything in there you can

make as much noise as we like

I think the ability to conform to rules

provided those rules are accepted as

reasonable and sensible is part of being

a law-abiding citizen and being able to

fit in to whatever social structure

you're in I see no reason why girls

should not question rules and I would

encourage them to do that I think it

does prepare them for the world of work

where there are even stricter rules and

regulations in many ways particularly in

health and safety and things that one

can must or must not do the head teacher

explaining why she thinks rules are a

good thing why do they have to walk on

the left I don't know maybe it's because

we have to drive on the left in Britain

oh yeah when they get to the sixth form

the girls have more choice in everything

for instance in their free time there

are three places they can go the library

the study room and the common room in

the library we're not allowed to speak

at all in the study room we are

permitted to eat and talk quietly in the

common room we can make as much noise as

we like

question what's that why do you have to

drive on the left in Britain well it's a

long story

goodbye goodbye bye
