School rules in the past

- To call the male teacher "sir" and female teacher "miss".

- To wear a horrible uniform.

- Pupils sometimes had to stay behind and write an essay (e.g. poems).

If you broke the ruler (get into trouble) you were punished.

Nowdays, the atmosphere is more relaxed. Pupils can often dress the way they want -reasonably smart (well dressed)-and the techers are not as strict.
