English Coming to School Methods: Walking--Protective Clothing
Figure 1.-- Safety is a real issue in Britain because of its crowded streets and northerly lattitude. This is far to the north of the United States, except Alaska. This means that during the school year, it gets darker much earlier in England than in America. So this is a real concern. We notice one school, the Trottiscliffe Church of England Primary School in Maidstone, Kent, adopting relective items. And Kent is in the in the south of England. As you go further north it gets darker earlir and earlier. The reflective items do not seem to have caught on. We do not see children wearing reflective or other protective clothing.

Quite a number of schools have unforms, including most private schools and secondary schools. Primary schools vary. Some have uniforms as well. But none of the unifrms are chosen with safety in mind. Grey and black feature prominently. This is a real issue in Britain because of its northerly lattitude. This is far to the north of the United States, except Alaska.
