SCHOOL UNIFORM A lot of people think that school uniforms in England are for the children from rich families at the country’s best public schools. But it is not always true. In fact, uniforms first came to schools for the poor because they were cheaper. Today a lot of British schools have uniforms. SCHOOL TIE“To be true to your school tie” – «Быть верным своему школьному галстуку».Это означает, что и через много лет после окончания школы выпускники сохраняют верность своим школьным друзьям.
