[For those who are confused: mufti is, traditionally, a term for civilian dress worn by people who are normally expected and/or entitled to wear uniform.

Lou's school doesnt do that either apparently...mine only does because its for charity and all that and we care supposedly very charitable. We organised something for Macmillan Coffee Morning last week too.

My headteacher wants all of us to look the same (I go to an all boys school!) because our hair isn't allowed to be too short or too long, our ties all have to be at least 2/3 the length of our torso, and our top buttons permanently done up even until we get home. The headteacher drives around the school area after school to see if boys are doing this. (A friend of mine was walking into his road when the headteacher drove past, saw him, stopped, got out, and told him to do his tie and top button up and tuck his shirt in, and THEN put his blazer back on. This isn't normal is it?!?!?!?!

My dad, a secondary school assistant head, drives past a few bus stops on the way to work each morning. He notes down, mentally, any students who have their shirts un-tucked and reprimands them appropriately when he gets to school

.

Our headteacher once explained to us, though, that he wasn't personally over-concerned with uniform but the number of complaints the school got from residents of the town if anyone was ever improperly dressed made it necessary to be strict.

Quadratics...yes we love it!!!!

Thanks - I was confused with the whole smilies thing. Now I know what you're all talking about :rolleyes; well, not the smilies, but the maths bit...

I don't remember how to do them, but wobby, your method sounds familiar for the brackets at least, I'm sure we just did "you multiply everything by everything"

We didn't have smilie faces in my day...

*hobbles off leaning on her stick*

G'night, I mean really goodnight!

Everything by everything, yes so if you have:

(x+2)(x+5) just for an example, you would get:

xx +2x +5x +10

x squared +7x +10

Yes something like that. We did a piece of coursework on them, using them to design curves for rollercoasters!

I really liked algebra at school...

Nicki, I'm so sorry to hear that

But the thing is, how can they predict after just 5 weeks. The thing is they can't!! We're having minimum expected grades based on my GCSE results...I can kind of guess what they'll be.

On a positive note, I got an A for an essay I did

Things like that are shocking when they happen to someone who's in any way connected with you even if you don't know them

Three people that I know of died in my 4th year at uni: one I didn't know at all, one was in my college, and one was in one of my classes. All of them were horribly shocking, even the one who no-one I knew knew. The chap from my class was actually killed when someone pushed him off an embankment, I think - I don't remember the details. He was a really nice guy though not in my year (some of us did a beginners' SerboCroat course with a class of 2nd years) and it was a small class, so though we 4th years didn't know him that well it was very horrific and shocking.

i better do well in Music with like a C or something, otherwise i'll flip!

P.S. the grade i got for Geography was averaged out of the grades i got from each teacher, a C, a D and an E :-\

It is like predicting GCSE grades using the yellis test.

Sarah - Yes, he just died of unknown causes, just collapsed and died. Everyone was in shock this morning, especially my tutor who was teaching him when it happened. My ex Maths teacher had to go home because he was so distressed today - he had to do mouth to mouth on him.

That's awful... must be especially horrible for your tutor and for the teachers who tried to help him. It is always a shock when a young person dies

- whether you know them or not.

That's horrible, I don't know him but am really having sympathy for his family and friends. It's really distressing.

You just think...yesterday morning he was saying goodbye to go to school, and his mum would have never seen him again *shudders*

Oh the poor dear. How awful. Wonder if it was food allergy though, I've heard of people eating peanuts and dying because they were allergic.

thats really sad nicki. thoughts are with all of you at school and his family and friends - it must be a lot harder to deal with a sudden death than knowing it was going to happen and being able to say goodbye properly.

It was really horrible because it happened so suddenly... and this morning I had a really bad nightmare and I had cried for ages til I woke up properly... the beginning of October doesn't seem to be very happy...

Sorry to hear that too Lou...no the beginning of October doesnt seem happy at all.

My friend was telling us yesterday about how she's registered to volunteer for the London 2012 Olypics and how the saddest thing is, that some of the people who have already registered, young people, won't live to see that time. *cries*

Poor you and your friend.

October has been a bad month because:
* Thieves broke into school
* Everyone is ill
* This year 11 boy died

* So much work to do - tests, homework!
* Conflict between friends
* One friend needing support again

Does anyone know how you pay for iTunes? Do you pay by credit card or does it go to your monthly bill?

I'm a disgrace to my generation, I should know this stuff.
