Having noticed the trend for today's school youngsters to wear the knots of their ties nearly to the waist, and their shirts sticking out their pants, it is little wonder that they say they look scruffy.
But the answer here is not to change their shirts and ties to the more leisurely polo shirt, but to instil some discipline back into the classroom.
What is wrong with the old way of students filing past the head at the beginning of the day? Anyone not adhering to the correct smart dress code, is punished by reporting to the head at the end of the day for the next week or so.
The message would soon sink in.
