Stop pupils being creative
Friday, May 15th, 2009“Clip-on ties also allow schools to create a more standardised appearance, says the association, stopping pupils from being more creative in how they wear their ties.”
Glad to know we’ve got our priorities straight. I’m all for uniforms, but trying to create a monoculture will just adapt students to find new ways to express themselves. Ringtones, haircuts, shoes, bags. What’s the point?

[And if we’re talking child safety - at least include the numbers of deaths per year due to wearing a tie in schools]
