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.

Great idea dan
Do as I say or I'll hit you
Shall we introduce that for speeding motorists too or do you only approve of hitting children?
Daffy - I think there are some rules comming in or in outlawing the scam of school uniforms only being available from the school.
If you're in that position tell the school that you'll refer them to the OFT

Personally, I think kids should be tidy and comfortable in their school uniform. Whilst they are forced into wearing ties they will always rebel - I did and that was back in the dark ages - and I went to a strict girls grammar school.
Polo shirts and slacks do not look scruffy and I applaud the schools that have changed their uniforms so that the children are dressed more practically and actually look better.
Anyway, I hate ties with a passion - what function do they perform?

It is my opinion that a smart uniform gives the pupil a sense of unity and pride in his/ her school and with the school badge as sense of esprit de corps. Also proficiency in sport rewarded by colours is some something to strive for.
Somehow, a school badge and colours for cricket etc, would, in my opinion, sit right on a polo necked shirt.
