Uniform/polo shirts

[bananamam]

I am not a fan of polo shirts as uniform, so bought DS all shirts. Now school have issued a letter saying that pe and drama lessons are three days a week. Can all children please wear Polo shirts they're days to "help" with changing?

DS is capable of doing all his buttons apart from the top one. I really don't want him wearing a polo shirt three days a week, nor do I want to buy them and have money wasted on the uniform I have bought.

Would I be ok to leave his top button undone on these days and tell him to just unbotton the top two or three buttons and pull his shirt over his head when getting changed? Thus being just as quick as a polo shirt?

Or should I bite the bullet and waste money on polo shirts?

I would tell them that you have bought the uniform for this year, of course if they had mentioned it before hand then you would have been happy to oblige... but in these times of financial erstraint, you can not justify more expense, and you are sure they will understand...

I agree with pp just say you've already got his uniform and didn't get polo shirts as they were optional. You don't want to spend any more on uniform.
