That's my entire point, that you cannot extrapolate someone's entire life story from a violation of the school uniform rules.

Not my mistake I`m afraid, *I* knew that I wasn`t supposed to be wearing white. But when the deputy head tells me I can, well, what do you expect me to do, answer back to the deputy head and tell him he was wrong? This was a scenario where keeping quiet was wholly advantageous, I was not about to blow a chance to come out on top.
He made the mistake, I took advantage of it, for the rest of the term I wore white. I don`t see a mistake there, I see a victory for schoolboy defiance. There is a healthy tradition of riding the edge of the rules when it comes to being at school.
Another example, as mentioned above the general school uniform was a blue shirt, that's all it specified, a blue shirt. Denim shirts are blue shirts. Everyone started wearing denim shirts. Is it my fault that the rules have not been thought through? Does that automatically make everyone at the school a chav? The rules were followed to the letter, but just as every prisoner has the obligation of escape, every schoolchild has an obligation to play the loopholes.
