Question Two

Most of the schools there have made it compulsory
(Anyway) it will be compulsory at high school later on
It’s a lack of freedom and a way to kill / stifle individuality, ambiance / atmosphere is different in New Zealand

New Zealand system of education is more advanced (she thinks) / more modern
School addresses the needs of the individual / person much better than in France / in her former country
(The contradiction of) making kids wear a uniform goes against the beautiful / grand ideas of education
