The school accepted the new policy「学校は新しい方針を受け入れた」(がっこうはあたらしいほうしんをうけいれた). It's important to note that this verb often carries a connotation of openness and readiness to adapt.

乳: milk or breast. The Japanese noun '乳 (ちち)' can mean 'milk' or 'breast', depending on the context. When referring to 'milk', it is often used in a general sense, such as cow's milk or breast milk. For example: I drink milk every morning「私は毎朝乳を飲みます」(わたしはまいあさちちをのみます). When referring to 'breast', it is typically used in a biological or medical context. For example: The baby is feeding from the mother's breast「赤ちゃんが母親の乳を飲んでいます」(あかちゃんがははおやのちちをのんでいます). It's important to note that '乳 (ちち)' is a somewhat formal or literary term, and in everyday conversation, '牛乳 (ぎゅうにゅう)' is more commonly used for 'cow's milk', and 'おっぱい' is a more casual term for 'breast'.
