mine was a private school
you got expelled if you were caught off the premises during school hours, we had a full on uniform, etc.

i was lucky, i absolutely loved school, as i had lots of friends, and we enjoyed breaking the rules. but some people really really hated it.

Ah, so it was a French school as well?

Ah, I see.
And I can imagine why a lot of people would have hated it. I was overjoyed to be shot of uniform-wearing by the time I was 15 (which seems to have lasted to this day as I also take real umbrage with being stuffed into a suit...)

the explanation at our school
was that lots of the kids came from very rich backgrounds and there would have been a real disparity in some people wearing designer gear.

we didn't really mind - if you roll your skirt up/wear your gym skirt, you get a LOT of attention in school uniform. and as 17 year old little tartlets, we bloody loved that!
