"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?

Trust me if you said that to my school. They would ask you to leave.

Send your son to school naked. Then let's see if you/he complain. Beehatch.

Pwned.

That's teh way it's supposed to work, but on "dress as you please" days at my old school everyone worked a lot harder when they wore what they wanted to because they were much more comfortable.

This is what it is like in my school, we're also not aloud to take our Blazer's off in class.

You can write a letter into teh school saying that you disagree with their rules.

School uniform isn't a law after all, so you can basically say "I don't want my son to wear his clothes like that" and they can't force it.

All i know is that i hate having to wear school uniform and adults give totally bullox reasons for making kids wear them.

Actually in most schools they have a petition where they see if they should allow uniform change rules for the next year. Maybe your son didn't show you it because it wasn't required to turn in. Or maybe I'm talking out of my as$$, possibly, possibly not.

How old are you?

how can I be "Against youth" when I'm a youth myself.

I mean one of those Against youth SOBs
