Dress Codes

In many schools the students wear schooluniforms to show that they were like each other. I think the most of the students don't like this uniforms because they want to show her own style.
But there is a big problem, some kids which haven't so much money to wear always Nike, Adidas or Puma Shirts could be mobbed. If all kids wear schooluniforms this doesn't matter.

In my opinion schooluniforms are nonsense because so you can't show your own style.
Besides the parents of the kids can't wash the uniform every day and so the clothes start to smell!

Book Report - ACROSS THE BARRICADES

Let me tell you somethings about this book.

the author:

She is the author of more than twenty novels for young people an twelve for adults. Joan Lingard has three grown-up daughters and one grandson, and lives in Edinburgh with her Canadian husband.

the book:

The main characters are Kevin, a catholic boy and Sadie, a protestant girl.

Sadie and Kevin become friends, but their parents doesn’t like that they are seeing each other, because of the reason that she is a Protestant and he is a Catholic. Everyone has something to say about their relationship.
Neighbours start to talk, and their friends turn their backs to them.
Everything seems to go the wrong way for Kevin and Sadie. One day Kevin and Sadie runs into Sadie’s old geography teacher. He is very kind to them, and lets them meet each other at his place. Sadie starts to work for him, and she soon finds new friends in him and some of his neighbours.
