first day of CEGEP for the middle son

He started school yesterday and I was a little worried because of his state of mind vis-a-vis his break-up.  He seems to be doing  well.  He made it to both his classes yesterday.  His busiest day of the week is Wednesday in which he has 4 classes.  It also happens to be his 17th birthday.

He was looking up online ratings of his teachers and it seems his English teacher prefers girls over boys and does not like original thinkers.  I don't think I like this rating stuff because I think he has given up before he even began. I wanted to try and make him see his English teacher as a challenge. I did see him doing homework yesterday which is a good thing.

On the other hand we got a notice about the start of class and uniforms from my youngest  (12) son's new high school. It is quite good for a laugh, thinking up what must of brought about these clarifications, for example:  White polo or dress shirt with school crest are permitted.  Only solid coloured undershirts are permitted under the white school shirt.  (NO t-shirts with logos) No layering .

There must of been some kids who went all out with the coloured undershirts.  

The other interesting idea are the teachers going around measuring headbands which are only allowed to be 2 inches in width.
