My son came home on Friday with a detention for repeatedly floating the school uniform rules. I can understand if he was walking around school refusing to put his tie on, but detention for having his top button undone and shirt untucked in my opinion is ridiculous. My son leaves the house looking smart but I don't ask his to fasten his top button, that's up to him. Do other school adopt a similar draconian approach. My opinion is schools should concentrate on improving teaching standards rather than the way someone looks.
