Starting new school Monday - best way to dress

Starting new school Monday - best way to dress?
I start a new school on Monday and my first in the US after moving from the UK. The school doesn't have a uniform. So what's the best way to dress that won't make me stick out too much in a bad way?

Wear something simple Eg. jeans, plain tee or one with little decoration and a brown or black sweater. JUST BE SIMPLE don't over do it and good luck hope this works!
2 :
It depends were you are moving. I would say wear a tee shirt and some shorts in a surf brand. For example quicksilver or volcom. Those are good brands for a guy to wear.
3 :
jeans and a name brand store shirt and cami and and a name brand jacket or hoody if its cold. Abercrombie or aeropostale is best
4 :
Wear something you think that fits your style. Usually it doesn't matter what you wear. It's usually your personality. People will always remember a hot looking person before a ugly person. Jeans or shorts. shirt or hoodie. Trust me it won't be as bad as you think. Have fun :S

http://www.aber.ac.uk/ you'll need to have done either the IB diploma instead of a regular high school diploma, or have done 3+ AP exams, scoring a mark of 4 or higher, or have got over a certain level on your SAT exams plus have done a full year at a US university before applying.

Any tips on how parents can contribute suggestions to their child's school

Any tips on how parents can contribute suggestions to their child's school?
For example my son's school in the UK had a 'buddy' program where an older child from a higher grade was teamed off with an younger child from the lower grade year to prevent older kids bullying younger ones- they used to spend a couple of periods every week doing fun activities together. The teachers also encouraged the class to actively participate in recycle programs where leftover food, plastic bottles or used papers were dumped in respective bins to encourage kids to be aware of the importance of recycling. I was wondering if there is a way where as a parent I could suggest these methods in my son's school here in US without intruding into the school's policies?

I would talk to the principal. Set aside time and make an appointment.
2 :
Many schools have a parent councel meetings. See if your son's school offers meetings and then these type of discussions are welcomed. That way you can get opinions of other parents as well.

Does anyone know any good schools in the UK or Ireland

Does anyone know any good schools in the UK or Ireland?
I'm hoping to go to college in either the UK or Ireland to major in French and become a teacher. But as an American it's difficult to find the resources to find a good school. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it =]
