School uniform too strict?

[Trish10000t]

DD started new school, and the uniform includes a blouse, tie, wool jumper, and blazer along with a skirt and thick tights. The jumper and blazer are both required, and they have to keep both on all the time unless permission is given. Most of the time she spends the entire day wearing both. The classrooms are heated and she says she gets too warm, but it seems to be expected that they stay in full uniform unless the outside temperature is extremely warm. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems a bit extreme.

I can't believe how strict some school uniforms are. Where I am (Scotland) the local school has a uniform with the school logo on it but nobody tells kids which kind of trousers, shoes or haircuts they can have.

Seems very odd to insist on the jumper and the blazer, if the blazer is compulsory wear at all times.

People who wear suit jackets usually don't have shirt and jumper underneath! My school blazers were all thicker than a suit jacket and the wool one for high school quite restrictive.

I have never got my head around this as we didnt wear our blazers inside at school. I can understand that you don't want a class disrupted but I would say they should start the lesson as they mean to go on.
