What's the rule on ties/top buttons at your child's school and how do they wear it?

My friend has just dropped her children off so I can take them to school and she made the comment 'you don't let them go to school like that do you?' and pointed out that I was seemingly being lax in not making my children do up their ties and top buttons like she does with hers.

Now I do know that her children aren't the sort to modify their uniform the moment that their mother is out of sight because I've seen them at school and they still look as tidy as they did when they left the house.

It's not something I've really ever thought about, and not considered that I might be in the 'wrong' for not making mine do up theirs. I've always just assumed that the school would do something if there was an issue.

Both Middle and High school here the rule is top button done up. High School has clip on ties all neatly tied. Grin

I am sure the school would say if they didn't think anyone was smart enough. You are taking your friend's children to school-she should stop with the comments!
