Ties. What a joke. Outdated. Serve no purpose.
But wait - flippin ties are mandated at school - FOR YEAR 1 !!!! For goodness sake.
Rushing to get child out of house to school so can get to work. Child does not want to get ready. Manageable.
BUT WAIT. Do the flippin top button up with child struggling. Pinch the poor kids neck inadvertanly. Fat clumsy male father fingers. Screaming.
UH OH. Now to tie the flippin tie. Gees. Yet more unnecessary hassle.
Now I work in corporate environment, drive a desk. Dress smart. Do not own a tie. Never wear a tie for interview. Never wear a tie at work. Never wear a tie anywhere. They serve no purpose. Antiquated jewelry.
So why the do these damned schools punish the kids AND the parents by mandating a tie?
Maybe the school should teach the blighters to tie the tie themselves. But wait, when you pay £15K per year for this damned pre-prep school and I don't really want the kid's time being wasted on such dross.
Thanks Mr Headmaster for the unnecessary burden.
