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?
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 =]

Check the council website, they usually have the term dates http://www.bristol-cyps.org.uk/schools/term-dates09.html
2 :
Well as far as i know they started this week, Monday to be exact and last for two weeks. With the easter weekend in the middle. :D
3 :
For *most* schools the only holidays in April are for Easter and run from Friday 3rd April until Monday 20th April. But local authorities and some schools are free to set their own dates so not all schools will be off at the same times. ..

Sophomore doesn't really help us over here! What age are you? * At 16 you'll be in Year 12 or 6th Form - You'll be studying your A - Levels (which will last 2 years) Which subjects are the same as GCSE - (English, Maths, Geography, Biology ect...) From Wikipedia: Students will typically study in either the Sixth Form of a School, a Sixth form college, or a further education college. These courses can also be studied by adults over 18. This sector is referred to as Further Education. All 16-18 students are encouraged (this is only mandatory in some institutions) to study Key Skills in Communication, Application of Number and Information Technology
2 :
what u need to know about a levels? you can study them at a school or college for free, it takes 2 years and you can study up to 5 subjects tho most people take 3-4 ummmmmmmmm yea =D x
3 :
how r u gonna go to the UK??? i wanna go!! but next year ill be a junior...is ur family all going or r u going there only cuz of ur academics??
4 :
if you 16 when you come to the UK you could be put in high school or a college, both are free, you can go to any college you like and do up to 3-4 A- levels of your choice, but it depends also on your grades like for example if your failed maths you might have to re-take it in college. you will do A-levels for 2 years.

The best place is Ohio Valley Wrestling in Louisville, KY. http://www.ovwrestling.com/ OVW is the wrestling school that the WWE recommends. OVW sends out videos of their students to the WWE to be evaluated by the executives at WWE. If you really want to become a wrestler for the WWE, you need to come to the U.S.A and join OVW. It will be the quickiest way to get into the WWE. I also hear that if you are a very good student at OVW, they will let you wrestle in the dark matches that WWE provides before the show begins. If you are good there, then you will get noticed. But OVW is the place to be because they have got connections and connections is what you need to get into the WWE. I just want to add that you must prove yourself to be a good wrestler before you move onto the advanced classes. I think, making it to the advanced classes means that you can start wrestling at the OVW shows. And, if you are good there, then you might get selected to wrestle in the WWE. I don't think OVW is all that expensive. I think it will cost you about $6,000 total (tuition). They also have trainers that will tutor you for a set rate. You might get off cheaper by seeing if one of the better wrestling students will tutor (help train) you for a cheaper rate.
