The aim of this assignment is to establish whether informal communication is just as important as formal communication in a school environment. My hypothesis at the start of the assignment is that both will be essential in order for a school to run efficiently and for a healthy culture to exist in an educational establishment. However, I first need to outline the nature of the school used for this study. The school is a popular non-denominational 11-18 Comprehensive High School for girls, with some

(McLane and McNamee 4) 2 The fact that we wait so long to start to teach our children literacy is absurd.

the use of the comma and somehow the Academy granted me that little piece of paper anyway. You, reader, may be wondering my point.

In 1772 he received his second time of formal education at the academy of Reverend Archibald Campbell but perhaps more importantly, Blackstone's "Commentaries" was published in America and Thomas Marshall bought a copy, not only for his own use, but also specifically for John to read and study.

of the world's best known advocates of non-violent social change strategies". His ideals came from African-American religious traditions which were then grown more from his education.
