"School uniform"

Have you ever heard of anything so daft. At my sons school they have recently introduced a new rule, where by the pupils have to keep there top button done up and there shirts tucked in and have to wear ties up to there necks through the summer months, are they insane. They have all been given these pieces of card with spaces for teachers to sign the card if there uniform is not up to scratch and when they get 4 signitures they get an after school detention. They also can spot check and have a look at the card at any time, plus if the kids forget to take the card or lose it they will end up in a lunch time detention, because there is no proof that they have any signitures on it or not. The school says this new rule is to show pupils how to dress for when they have to go to work. As i work for a big company you do not have to wear ties during the summer months and at no time at all do we have to have our top buttons done up. It has caused big arguments with the school since the rule has been introduced and the school says they are not going to change the rule. What do you guys think?

We have a stupid uniform card at my school,and i've we are found chewing,chewing gum we get a after school. If we get five signatures on the card we get a after school. I have two marks on it one for forgetting my book, and one for forgetting my P.E kit. Its so stupid I hate my school.

The teachers at my school are really fussy about shirts and ties, but im only at that school for another 3 weeks and the new school im going to has a unifom that you HAVE to have your shirt untucked.

well theyre introducing a new one next year for us top button done up shirt tucked in etc, but it wont work they do it evey year and after a moth they get bored and stop being so strict.
A new big rule which made me cry was skirts have to be 3 inch above the knee, whereas before some of the girls had them 5 inch below the waist :S My idea was to make all the boys come in skirts until they change the uniform back, of course the boys always wear their skirts according to the rules.

I work for a large company and don't have a uniform. Infact the only rule is men can't wear shorts.

thanks for all your responce. All comments have been read and noted.

I just wouldn't expect everybody to react like that, I find that usually the parents back up the teachers, but that's just at the schools I've been to I suppose.

tHe head master has excluded quite a few people for rebbeling against new rules. so i dont think that would work. they have done sit down protests and that hasn't worked. they are planning more this week.

I have to wear shirt and tie for the first two terms and as long as we have our ties upo they don't care if the top button isn't done up. Then in the summer we wear polo shirts which I think we should just wear all year round.

I say every at your sons school rebel and every one undo their top buttons and wear their ties right slack and 'cause there is so many doing it they won't be assed sorting it out.
