stricter?

Both "stricter" and "more strict" are correct

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment hace 8 años

'stricter' definitely sounds more natural

But "more strict" is also correct , isn't it?

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment hace 8 años

Uly, do you call children at school students? Do you never use "pupils"?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment hace 8 años

More strict is also possible. I never use the word pupil. You rarely hear it anymore.
